[Intro] D A Bm G [Verse 1] D We were both young when I first saw you G I close my eyes and the flashback starts Bm G I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air D See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns G See you make your way through the crowd Bm And say, "Hello" A Little did I know [Pre-Chorus] G A That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles Bm D And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" G And I was crying on the staircase A Bm G A Begging you please don't go, and 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 A D It's a love story baby just say "yes" [Verse 2] D So I sneak out to the garden to see you G We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew Bm So close your eyes A Escape this town for a little while [Pre-Chorus] G A 'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter Bm D And my daddy said stay away from Juliet G But you were everything to me I was A Bm G A Begging you please don't go, and 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 A It's a love story baby just say yes D Romeo, save me, they try to 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 A It's a love story baby just say yes, oh [Solo] D A Bm G A [Bridge] Bm G D A I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around Bm G My faith in you was fading D A When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said [Chorus] D Romeo save me I've been feeling 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 A He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said E 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 B E It's a love story baby just say yes [Outro] B C#m Uh oh, uh oh A E We were both young when I first saw you
