No Capo. D,A,Em, G D We were both young when I first saw you A I close my eyes and the flashback starts Em G I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air D See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns A See you make your way through the crowd Em G And say hello, little did I know D That you were Romeo You were throwing pebbles A And my daddy said stay away from Juliet Em And I was crying on the staircase G Begging you please don't go CHORUS: And I said D Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone A I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run Em You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess G It's a love story, baby, just say yes D So I sneak out to the garden to see you A We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew Em G So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while Oh, oh, oh D 'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter A And my daddy said stay away from Juliet Em But you were everything to me G I was begging you please don't go CHORUS: And I said D Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone A I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run Em You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess G It's a love story, baby, just say yes D Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel A This love is difficult, but it's real Em Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess G It's a love story, baby, just say yes D,A,Em,G (Single Strokes) D A I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around Em My faith in you was fading G When I met you on the outskirts of town CHORUS: (normal strumming now) G And I said D Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone A I keep waiting for you but you never come Em Is this in my head, I don't know what to think G He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring And said D Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone A I love you and that's all I really know Em I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress G It's a love story, baby, just say yes D,A, Em G We were both young when I first saw you
