Intro: [C][G][Am][F]
1. [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 [F]balcony in summer air
[C]See the lights see the party the ball gowns
I [F]see you make your way through the crowd
You say hel-[Am]lo little did I [G]know
Chorus:That you [F]were Romeo, you were throwing [G]pebbles
And my [Am]daddy said stay away from Ju-[C]liet
And I was [F]crying on the staircase
[G]Begging you please don’t [Am]go, [F]and I [G]said
[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 [C]yes
2. [C]So 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 [G]town for a little while
Cause you [F]were Romeo I was a scarlet [G]letter
And my [Am]daddy said stay away from Ju-[C]liet
But you were [F]everything to me
I was [G]begging you please don’t [Am]go [F]and I [G]said

Solo: [C][G][Am][F][G]
Bridge: I got tired of [Am]waiting
[F]Wondering if [C]you were ever [G]coming around
My faith in [Am]you was [F]fading
When I met you on the out-[C]skirts of [G]town and I said
[C]Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I [G]keep waiting for you but you never come
Is [Am]this in my head, I don’t know what to think
He [F]kneels to the ground and [G]pulled out a ring and said
Change key up 1 tone to [D]——
