my first

Dadd9
We were both young, when I first saw you.
Gsus2
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
              Bm                   Gsus2
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
Dadd9
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
Gsus2
I see you make your way through the crowd-
         Bm                  A
You say hello, little did I know...

      G                       A
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
        Bm7                       D
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
           G
And I was crying on the staircase-
A                           Bm7  G
begging you, "Please don't go..."
A
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.
Bm7
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
G                  A
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

Dadd9
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
Gsus2
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
Bm                                             A
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.

      G                         A
Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
       Bm7                          D
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
             G
but you were everything to me-
       A                         Bm7 G A
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
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.
Bm7
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
G                    A
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.
Bm7
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
G                   A
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
D A Bm7 G A
Oh, Oh.
                Bm
I got tired of waiting.
G             D                        A
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
                 Bm         G
My faith in you was fading-
        D                           A
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

D              
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
A
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Bm7
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
G                           A
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

E
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
B
I love you, and that's all I really know.
C#m
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
A                    B               E
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
E         B        A
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
         A                                  E
'cause we were both young when I first saw you
