C
We were both young when I first saw you.
F
I close my eyes and the flashback starts..
Am                                    G
.. you're standing there.. on a balcony in summer air.

C
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
F                                                   Am
Making my way, I'm moving through the crowd to say "ello.."
                G
Little did you know..

        F                      G
.. that I was Romeo, as I was throwing pebbles..
              Am                         C
.. heard your father say "Stay away from Juliet!"
                   F                       G                        Am
Had to leave you crying on the staircase.. begging me "Please don't go!"
C
So I said..

C
Julie I'll take you somewhere we can be alone.
G
Just be patient.. nothing left to do but run.
Am
I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess..
F                  G
It's a love story baby say "Yes."

C
So you sneak out to the garden I'm hiding..
F                              
.. we keep quiet cause we're dead if they find me.
Am
Close your eyes.
                           G
.. escape this town for a little while.
F                         G
I was Romeo, you were my Juliet.
        Am                        C
even my Father said loving you is not worth it.

                     F                         G                       Am
Had to leave you on crying on the staircase.. begging me "Please don't go!" 

C
So I said..


Chorus
C
Julie I'll save you, they'll never come between us!
G
Just hold on and love is gonna free us!
Am
Don't be afraid, oh we'll make it through this!
F                    G              C
It's a love story.. baby just say "Yes."

                        Am
I'm sure she's tired of waiting.
                 C                                G
Swear I'm on my way, just had to work some things out!
                       F
I hope her faith's not fading..
                           C            G
.. that was when I met her outskirts of town.. 

.. and I said..

C
Julie I apologize, didn't mean to scare you.
G
Need you more than anything.. I refuse to share you.
Am
Saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what to think..
F
I knelt to the ground and I 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 that I really know!
Bm
I talked to our families, pick out a white dress..
               G      A             D
.. it's a love story baby just say "Yes."'
