Intro: D  A  Bm  G
 
D
We were both young when I first saw you.
G
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Bm                    G
You're standing there on a balcony of summer air.
 

D
See the lights, See the party, the ball gowns
G                                                 Bm
Making my way, I'm moving through the crowd to say "ello.."
            A
Little did you know
 

     G                 A
That I was Romeo, as I was throwing pebbles
             Bm                D
I heard your father said "Stay away from Juliet!"
              G
Had to leave you crying on the staircase 
 A                Bm       D
Begging me "Please don't go!" So I said..
 

D
Juliet I'll take you somewhere we can be alone.
A
Just be patient.. nothing left to do but run.
Bm
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince.. oh!
G               A       D
It's a love story baby say Yes.
 

D
So you sneak out to the garden I'm hiding..
G
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they find me.
Bm
So Close your eyes.
A
Lets escape from this town for a little while.
 

G            A
I was Romeo, you were my Juliet.
      Bm                      D
Even my father said loving you is not worth it.
G
Had to leave you crying on the staircase.. 
 A           Bm          D
Begging me Please don't go! So I said..
 

D
Juliet I'll save you, they'll never come between us!
A
Just hold on and love is gonna free us!
Bm
Don't be afraid, oh we'll make it through this!
G              A               D
It's a love story.. baby just say Yes.
 

                      Bm     G
I'm sure she's tired of waiting.
D                     A
Swear I'm on my way, just had to work some things out!
Bm                 G
I hope her faith's not fading..
                         D         A
That was when I met her on the outskirts of town and I said..
 

D
Juliet I apologize, didn't mean to scare you.
A
Need you more than anything.. I refuse to share you.
Bm
Saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what to think..
 G                 A
I knelt to the ground and I pulled out a ring and said..
 

  E
Marry me Juliet. You'll never have to be alone.
   B
I love you and that's all that I really know!
   Dbm
I talked to our families, pick out a white dress..
  A              B         E
It's a love story baby just say Yes.
 

           A                  E
Cause we were both young when I first saw you.
