[Intro]C G Am F
[Verse 1]

CWe were both young when I first saw you

 I Fclose my eyes and the flashback starts

 I'm standing Amthere on a balcony in Fsummer air

CSee the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

FSee you make your way through the crowd

 And say, Am"Hello"

 Little did GI know

[Pre-Chorus]

 That Fyou were Romeo, you were Gthrowing pebbles

 And my Amdaddy said, "Stay away from CJuliet"

 And I was Fcrying on the staircase

GBegging you please don't Amgo, F and GI said

[Chorus]

CRomeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

GI'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

AmYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

FIt's a love story, Gbaby, just say C"yes"

[Verse 2]

 So CI sneak out to the garden to see you

FWe keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

 So close your Ameyes

 Escape this town for a Glittle while

[Pre-Chorus]

 'Cause Fyou were Romeo, I was a Gscarlet letter

 And my Amdaddy said stay away from CJuliet

 But you were Feverything to me

 I was Gbegging you please don't Amgo, F and GI said

[Chorus]

CRomeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

GI'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

AmYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

FIt's a love story, Gbaby, just say yes

CRomeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel

GThis love is difficult, but it's real

AmDon't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

FIt's a love story, Gbaby, just say yes

[Solo]| C | C | G | G | Oh-ohh| Am | Am | F | G
[Bridge]

 I got tired of Amwaiting, F wondering if Cyou were ever coming Garound

 My faith in you Amwas Ffading

 When I Cmet you on the outskirts of Gtown and I said

[Chorus]

CRomeo, save me I've been feeling so alone

GI keep waiting for you but you never come

 Is Amthis in my head, I don't know what to think

 He Fknelt to the ground and Gpulled out a ring and said

DMarry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone

AI love you, and that's all I really know

 I Bmtalked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

GIt's a love story, Ababy, just Dsay yes

[Outro]

 Uh Aoh, uh Bmoh

 'Cause Gwe were both young when I first saw Dyou
