VERSE

G                D/F#  C9
Love struck Romeo        sings a streetsuss seranade
G                    D/F#   C9
Layin' everybody low             with a lovesong that he made
D/F#                Cadd9 (only on fast strum ) D/F#
Finds a streetlight                  steps out of the shade and says sth like
C9             D/F#
you and me babe          how about it

(chords stay the same)
Juliet says 'hey it's romeo' he nearly gave me a heart attack
he's underneath my window, singin' 'hey la my boyfriend's back'
you shouldn't come around here singin' up at people like that
anyway what you gonna do about it

CHORUS

      G  D/F#             Em7             C9
Juliet     our dice were loaded from the start
        G   D/F#         Em7            C9
and I bet       you exploded into my heart
G              D/F#    Em7          C9
I forget I forget      the movie song
D/F#             C9 D/F# (quick change)
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong
   G                  D/F#  C9
Ju-u-u-u-liet

VERSE (chords like before)

Come upon different streets, and they're both the streets of shame
Both dirty both mean, and you're dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
so how can you look at me as if i just anotherone of your dreals

where you can fall for chains of silver and you can fall for chains of gold
you can fa-aall for pretty strangers, and the promisses they hold
you promissed you everything you promissed me thick and thin now just
turn around and say romeo yeah, you know i just to have a scene with him

CHORUS

Juliet when we made love you jused to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'm gonna love you till i die
and i forget i forget the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong
Ju-uliet

VERSE

And I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a lovesong the way it's meant to be
So all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I do the stars with you  any time

CHORUS

Juliet when we made love you jused to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'm gonna love you till i die
Say there's a place for us 
the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong
Ju-u-u-u-liet
