C

We were both young when I first saw you.

F

I close my eyes and the flashback starts..

Am F

you're standing there.. on a balcony in summer air.



C
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.

F Am

Making my way, I'm moving through the crowd to say "ello.."
G
Little did you know..



F G
that I was Romeo, as I was throwing pebbles..

Am C

heard your father say "Stay away from Juliet!"

F G Am

Had to leave you crying on the staircase.. begging me "Please don't go!"
C
So I said..


C
Julie I'll take you somewhere we can be alone.

G

Just be patient.. nothing left to do but run.

Am

You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince..

F G C

It's a love story baby say "Yes."


C
So you sneak out to the garden I'm hiding..

F

we keep quiet cause we're dead if they find me.

Am

Close your eyes.

G

escape this town for a little while.



F G

I was Romeo, you were my Juliet.

Am C

Even my father said loving you is not worth it.

F G Am

Had to leave you on crying on the staircase.. begging me "Please don't go!"
C
So I said..

Chorus
C
Julie I'll save you, they'll never come between us!
G

Just hold on and love is gonna free us!

Am

Don't be afraid, oh we'll make it through this!

F G C

It's a love story.. baby just say "Yes."


Am F
I'm sure she's tired of waiting.

C G

Swear I'm on my way, just had to work some things out!

Am F

I hope her faith's not fading..

C G

that was when I met her outskirts of town..

.. and I said..


C
Julie I apologize, didn't mean to scare you.

G

Need you more than anything.. I refuse to share you.

Am

Saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what to think..

F G

I knelt to the ground and I pulled out a ring..



And said..
D
"Marry me Juliet.
You'll never have to be alone.

A

I love you and that's all that I really know!

Bm

I talked to our families, pick out a white dress..

G A D

it's a love story baby just say "Yes."

'
G D
Cause we were both young when I first saw you.
