Love Story

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know...
That you [A7were Romeo, you [A7were throwing pebbles-
And my [A]daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was [Am7]crying on [C7]the staircase-
begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be [Am]alone.
I'll be [Am]waiting; all [Em]there's left to [C7]do is ɾun.
You'll be [Am]the prince and [Bm]I'll be [Am]the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
So I sneak out to [C7]the garden to [C7]see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for [Dm7]a little while.
Oh, Oh.
Cause you [A7were Romeo - I was [Am7]a scarlet letter,
And my [A]daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you [A7were everything to [C7]me-
I was [Am7]begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be [Am]alone.
I'll be [Am]waiting; all [Em]there's left to [C7]do is ɾun.
You'll be [Am]the prince and [Bm]I'll be [Am]the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-
Romeo save me, they're tɾying to [C7]tell me how to [C7]feel.
This love is difficult, but it's ɾeal.
Don't be [Am]afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
I got [Fm7]tired of waiting.
Wondering if you [A7were ever coming around.
My faith in you [A7was [Am7]fading-
When I met you [A7on [C7]the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for [Dm7]you [A7but you [A7never come.
Is this in my [A]head, I don't know what to [C7]think-
He knelt to [C7]the ground and [Bm]pulled out a ɾing and [Bm]said...
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to [C7]be [Am]alone.
I love you, and [Bm]that's all [Em]I ɾeally know.
I talked to [C7]your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you [A7
