Verse 1

Eb
We were both young when I first saw you,
Eb                        Ab
I close my eyes and the flashback starts,
        Cm7
I'm standing there
                 Ab
On a balcony in summer air.
Eb

Eb
See the party, the ballgowns,
Eb                       Ab 
I see you make your way through the crowd,
      Cm7
And say hello,
            Ab
Little did I know...

   Bb                         Ab
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet,
            Eb
And I was crying on the staircase,
   Bb                    Ab
Begging you please don't go... and I said

Escape this town for a little while.

Bridge
Cm7
I got tired of waiting,
Bb                         Ab
Wondering if you were ever coming around,
