Verse 1
[D]We were both young when I first saw you
[D]I close my eyes and the flashback starts
[G]I’m standing there on a balcony in [D]summer air
[D]See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
[D]See you make your way through the crowd
[G]And say hello, little did I know [A]
Pre-Chorus
[Bm]That you were Romeo, you were [G]throwing pebbles
[D]And my daddy said, “Stay away from [A]Juliet”
[Bm]And I was crying on the [G]staircase
[D]Begging you, “Please don’t [A]go”
Chorus
[D]Romeo, save me, they’re trying to [G]tell me how to feel
[D]This love is difficult, but it’s [A]real
[Bm]Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it [G]out of this mess
[D]It’s a love story, [A]baby just say [D]yes
Verse 2
[D]So I sneak out to the garden to see you
[D]We keep quiet ‘cause we’re dead if they knew
[G]So close your eyes, escape this town for a [A]little while
[Bm]‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a [G]scarlet letter
[D]And my daddy said, “Stay away from [A]Juliet”
Bridge
[D]I got tired of waiting
[A]Wondering if you were ever coming around
[Bm]My faith in you was fading
[G]When I met you on the outskirts of town
[D]And I said, “Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so [A]alone
[Bm]I keep waiting for you but you never [G]come
[D]Is this in my head? I don’t [A]know what to think”
[Bm]He knelt to the ground and pulled out a [G]ring
Outro
[D]It’s a love story, [A]baby just say [Bm]yes
[G]Oh oh oh
[D]It’s a love story, [A]baby just say [D]yes
