Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Piano A (bare)

Verse1

This is story about a boy and girl

Trying find a life in the big world

Somehow they're together

There ain't much to the mystery

Misery loves company

She just waves her hand and says whatever

Prechorus

Well this ain't love, this ain't love, this ain't love at all

And he says...

Chorus

We're not Romeo we're not [Fm#]Juliet

 How long does it take to fill this emptyness

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no [Fm#]regrets

 [Fm#]We don't wanna say bye-bye

 [Fm#]Babe it's just you and I

 [Fm#]We're not Rome[Gm#]o we're not Juliet

Verse2

He ain't pretty with his hard old heart

Second generation immigrant scars

And he knows that this ain't heaven - no no

She's all skinny like a cigarette

And he's the only thing - the only thing that she respects

And he's trying to make it better

Prechorus

And i[Gm#]f this ain't love, this ain't love, this ain't love at all

And she says...

Chorus

We're not Romeo we're not [Fm#]Juliet

 You'd thought you'd seen it all - but you ain't seen nothin' yet

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no [Fm#]regrets

 [Fm#]Now it's just you and I

 [Fm#]We're nothin' unless we try

 [Fm#]We're not Rome[Gm#]o ... not Juliet

Bridge

[Dm#]

It has feel right but it never does

It has to be perfect but it never is

You wanna be sure but you never do

We're not Romeo or Juliet - it's just me and you

Solo

(rythm like in chorus)

[Fm#]

 [Fm#]

(wah-wah solo improvisation - sample like this, with lot of feeling)

(continue with ...)

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no [Fm#]regrets

 [Fm#] Don't wanna say bye-bye

 [Fm#]Babe it's just you and I

 [Fm#]We're not Rome[Gm#]o we're not Juliet na-na-no!

Outro

(wah-wah solo in background)

We're not Romeo we're not [Fm#]Juliet

 How long does it take to fill this emptyness

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no [Fm#]regrets

 [Fm#]Now it's just you and I

 [Fm#]We're nothin' unless we try - oh no

We're not Romeo - not Juliet

No we're not - that's a fact
