        Dm (xx0231@1)                      Bb (x1333x@1)      F (133211@1)                 Csus4 (x33010@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town in the rain,
          Bbmaj7 (x13231@1)            G7 (320001@1)When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
        F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)        Bb (x1333x@1)  G9 (x2323x@1)And my girl is on a plane, home...

I'm never going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

G (320003@1)Gm7    Fmaj7/A (103210@1)        Bb- (x1333x@1)Bb/C
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
    F (133211@1)Gm7                 Fmaj7/A (103210@1)    Bb- (x1333x@1) Bb/C 
And I know that I have let her____ slip away,

Dm (xx0231@1)   C (x32010@1)    Bb (x1333x@1)F (133211@1)Fatal hesitation, ah, fatal hesitation...
I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no;
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,

C# (x43121@1)               Eb/C#                   FI'm (133211@1)going to get on my____ boat and sail away;
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation...
I'm going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head, 
It doesn't matter any more,
I'm going to miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...
