    A lovestruck Romeo, sing the streets of serenade.
    C                   G Am               G       F 
    Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made.
    G                  F G                  C
    Find a street light, steps out into the shade,
         F                                     G
    Says something like, you and me babe, how about it?
    C                          G Am                              G C
    Juliet says, hey it's Romeo, he nearly gave me a heart attack.
    C                           G            Am        G          F
    He's underneath the window, just singing hey la my boyfriends back.
    G                         F     G                         C
    You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that.
    F                         G
    Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

Chorus I:
    C     G              Am     G        F
    Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start.
          C  G            Am    G       F
    And I bet, and you exploded into my heart.
    G        C         Am             F
    And I forget, I forget, the movie song.
    Dm                            F                      G          C
    When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

    C                           G Am                            G C
    Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame.
    C                G     Am                    G        F
    Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same.
    G                               F     G                 C
    And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real.
    F                                  G
    How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
                 C                        G Am                             G C
    Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold.
    C                                G Am          G         F
    You can fall for pretty strangers, and the promises they hold.
    G                         F G               C
    You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah.
    F                                           G
    Now you just say oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him.

Chorus II:
    C     G              Am   G           F
    Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
               C                 G                 Am       G      F
    You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die.
    G         C         Am  F
    There's a place for us, you want a movie song.

    C                     Am                      G C
    I can't do the talks, like they talk on the TV.
    C                         G Am                G        F
    And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
    G                    F          G               C
    I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you.
    F                            G
    I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you.

    C                         Am
    And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be.
    C                          Am
    All I do is keep the beat, the bad company.
    G                       F G                   C
    And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of Orion.
    F                                G
    Julie I'd do the stars with you, anytime.

    Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.

    You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die.
    G         C         Am               F
    There's a place for us, you know the movie song.
    Dm                            F                      G          C

    G                             F G                C
    Find a convenient street light, steps out of the shade.

    He says something like, you and me babe, how about it?
