We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On the balcony in summer air
F
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
B♭
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, 'Hello.'
Little did I know
That y ou were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet!'
And I was c rying on the staircase
Begging you, 'Please don't go!'
A nd I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
Csus4
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Dm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It 's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
B♭
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
C
Oh, oh
'Cause y ou were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet!'
But you were e verything to me
I was begging you, 'Please don't go!'
A nd I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
Csus4
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Dm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It 's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
F
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
Csus4
This love is difficult, but it's real
Dm
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It 's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
W ondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
Csus4
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Dm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He k nelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
G
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
Dsus4
I love you, and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
