Verse 1
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.
See the lights,
See the party, the ballgowns,
I see you make your way through the crowd,
And say hello,
Little did I know...
Pre-chorus 1
That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet,
And I was crying on the staircase,
Begging you please don't go... and I said
Chorus 1
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1)
So I sneak out to the garden to see you,
We keep quiet cos we're dead if they knew,
So close close your eyes,
Escape this town for a little while.
Pre-chorus 2 (same chords as Pre-chorus 1)
Cos you were Romeo I was a scarlett letter,
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet,
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you please don't go... and I said
Chorus 2
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Romeo save me- they try to tell me how to feel,
This love is difficult but it's real,
Don't be afraid we'll amke it out of this mess,
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Bridge
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever coming around,
My faith in you was fading,
When I met you on the outskirts of town...and i said
Chorus 3 (strum in power chords, increasing in volume)
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone,
I keep waiting for you but you never come,
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think,
Ab (one strum)
he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said... (CHANGE OF KEY)
Marry me Juliet- you'll never have to be alone,
I love you and that's all I really know,
I've talked to your dad go pick out a white dress,
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Oh oh oh
Cos we were both young when I first saw you.
