C {stop} ( G/B ) Am {stop}
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
C {stop} ( G/B ) Am {stop}
Now he's laying everybody low, he's got a love song that he made
G G G {stop}
He finds a convenient streetlight, and he, he steps out of the shade
and he says something like
F G G
You and me, babe, how about it?
C C Am Am
Juliet says, Hey, it's Romeo! He nearly gave me a heart attack, yeah well
C C Am {stop}
He's underneath my window, now she's singing, hey-la, my boyfriend's back
G G G G
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that
F G G
Oh, anyway, whatcha gonna do about it?
C G F
Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
C G F
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart
C G Am Am
And I forget, I forget the movie song

{instrumental}
C {stop} ( G/B ) Am {stop}
We both come up on different streets, and they were both the streets of shame
C {stop} ( G/B ) Am Am
You know they're both dirty, both mean, yes and even the dreams were the same
G G G G
Well I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real, so tell me honey
F G G
Now how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
C C Am Am
Now you can fall for chains of silver, and you can fall for chains of gold
C C Am Am
You know you, you fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
G G G G
Well you promised me everything, and then you, and then you promised me thick
and thin
F {stop}
And now you just turn away and say, Romeo?
G G
I think I used to have a scene with him
C G F
Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
C G F
You said I love you like the stars above, gonna love you till I die
C G Am Am
There's a place for us, I know you know this song
G G G F
Now when you gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong?
C C Am Am
Julie, I'm so in love, so in love
C C Am Am
Yeah
( G/B ) C C ( G/B ) Am {stop}
But I can't do the talk, like they talk on my TV screen, and
C C ( G/B ) Am Am
I can't do a love song, not the way you sung them to me
G G G G
I can't do anything, but I would do anything for you, oh now
F G G
I can't do anything except be in love with you, yeah now
C C Am Am
All I do is miss you and the way you used to be, you know
C C Am {stop}
And all I do is keep the beat, I keep bad, bad company
G G G G
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of this rhyme, well
F G G
Julie, I'd do the stars with you anytime
C G F
Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry; you said I
C G F
Love you like the stars above, I'm gonna love you till I die. There's a
C G Am Am
Place for us, I know you know the movie song
G G G {hold} F
One day we're gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong
C C Am Am
Julie, Julie

It'll make sense once you try it. The middle and ring fingers change
the C chord, and the index finger and pinky mess with the Am.
