Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
We were both young when i first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Im standing there on a ba lcony of summer air
See the lights, See the party the ball gowns
I see y ou make your way through the crowd
You say he llo
Little did i k now
That you were romeo you were throw ing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Ju liet
And i was cr ying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and i s aid
Ro meo take me somewhere we can be alone
I 'll be waiting all theres left to do is run
Y ou'll be the prince and i'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
S o i sneak out to the garden to see you
W e keep quite because we're dead if they know
S o close your eyes
Lets ke ep this down for a little while
Cause you were Romeo I was a sca rlet letter
and my daddy said stay away from Ju liet
But you w ere everything to me
and i was begging you please don't go and i said
R omeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I 'll be waiting all theres left to do is run
Y ou be the prince i'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
Ro meo save me, try to tell me how it is
Th is love is difficult, but its real,
Sa ve me from the breakdown, make it out of looseness
Its a love story b aby just say yes, oh
Solo
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever co ming around
My faith in you was fad ing
Then i met you on the outskirts of to wn and i said
Ro meo save me i've been feeling so alone
I k eep waiting for you but you never come
Is t his in my head, i don't know what to think
He nelt to the ground and pu lled out a ring and said
Ma rry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I l ove you and thats all I really know
I t alked to your dad go pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby just say y es
Oh, oh, yes
We were very young when i first saw y ou
