Capo di fret 2
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C]we were both young
when I first saw you
I [F]close my eyes,
and the flashback starts
I’m standing [Am]there..
on a balcony in [F]summer air..
[C]see the lights
see the party the ball gowns
[F]see you make your way
through the crowd
and say “he[Am]llo”..
little did [G]I know..
that [F]you were romeo,
you were [G]throwing pebbles
and my [Am]daddy said “stay away
from j[C]uliet”
and I was [F]crying on the staircase
[G]begging you, “please don’t [Am]go,”..
[F] and [G]I said..
Chorus
[C]romeo take me
somewhere we can be alone
[G]I’ll be waiting
all there’s left to do is run
[Am]you’ll be the prince
and I’ll be the princess
[F]It’s a love story,
[G]baby, just say “yes”..
Intro
[C]
so [C]I sneak out
to the garden to see you
[F]we keep quiet,
‘cause we’re dead if they knew
so close your [Am]eyes..
escape this town for a [G]little while..
‘cause [F]you were romeo,
I was a [G]scarlet letter
and my [Am]daddy said “stay away
from j[C]uliet”
but you were [F]everything to me
I was [G]begging you “please don’t [C]go”,..
[F] and [G]I said..
Chorus
[C]romeo take me
somewhere we can be alone
[G]I’ll be waiting
all there’s left to do is run
[Am]you’ll be the prince
and I’ll be the princess
[F]it’s a love story
[G]baby just say “yes”
[C]romeo, save me,
they’re trying to tell me how to feel
[G] this love is difficult, but it’s real
[Am]don’t be afraid,
we’ll make it out of this mess
[F]it’s a love story
[G]baby just say “yes”..
Interlude
[C] [G]..[Am]..[F] oh, o[G]h..
I got tired of [Am]waiting..
[F] wondering if [C]you
were ever coming a[G]round
my faith in you [Am]was fa..d[F]ing..
when I [C]met you on
the outskirts of [G]town
and I said, “[C]Romeo, save me,
I’ve been feeling so alone
[G]I keep waiting for you
but you never come
Is [Am]this in my head?
I don’t know what to think”
he [F]knelt to the ground
and [G]pulled out a ring, and said
Reff 3 : [Overtune]
[D]marry me, Juliet,
you’ll never have to be alone
[A]I love you,
and that’s all I really know
I [Bm]talked to your dad,
go pick out a white dress
[G] it’s a love story,
[A]baby, just say.[D].“yes”..
oh oh [A]oh.. oh oh [Bm]oh oh..
‘cause [G]we were both young
when I first saw [D]you..
