[Verse 1]
D/F#
We were both young when I first saw you
A
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Bm
I'm standin' there
G
On a balcony in summer air
[Verse 2] (power chords)
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
A
See you make your way through the crowd
Bm
And say, "Hello"
G Em F#m
Little did I know
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
It's that you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles
Bm D
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
G A
And I was cryin' on the staircase, beggin' you,
Bm F#m G
"Please don't go, " cause then I said
[Chorus]
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
[Solo]
D
[Verse 2]
D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
A
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
Bm
So close your eyes
G
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
[Pre-Chorus] (soft)
G A
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Bm D
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
G A
But you were everything to me I was beggin' you,
Bm
"Please don't go, " then I said
[Chorus]
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waitin', all there's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
[Chorus 2]
D
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
A
This love is difficult, but it's real
Bm
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say...
[Solo]
D A Bm G
"Yes"
[Bridge]
Bm G
I got tired of waiting
D A
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
Bm G
My faith in you was fading
D A
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
[Chorus 3]
D
Romeo, save me, I've been feelin' so alone
A
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
G
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
[Chorus 4]
E
And said, "Marry me, Juliet, You'll never have to be alone
B
I love you and that's all I really know
C#m
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
A
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
