Love Story

Capo: 2

[C]  [G]  [Am]  [F]
 
[C]
We were both young when I first saw you
  [F]
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
             [Am]                    [F]
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
[C]
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
[F]
See you make your way through the crowd
            [Am]
And say, "Hello"
           [G]
Little did I know
 

     [F]                        [G]
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
       [Am]                          [C]
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
          [F]
And I was crying on the staircase
[G]                        [Am]  [F]      [G]
Begging you please don't go,   and I said
 

[C]
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
[G]
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
[Am]
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
[F]                  [G]                    [C]
It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"
 

   [C]
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
[F]
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
              [Am]
So close your eyes
                       [G]
Escape this town for a little while
 

       [F]                       [G]
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
       [Am]                        [C]
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
             [F]
But you were everything to me
      [G]                        [Am]  [F]      [G]
I was begging you please don't go,   and I said
 

[C]
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
[G]
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
[Am]
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
[F]                  [G]
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
[C]
Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel
[G]
This love is difficult, but it's real
[Am]
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
[F]                  [G]
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
 
[Solo]
| [C]   | [C]   | [G]   | [G]   |
          Oh-ohh
| [Am]  | [Am]  | [F]   | [G]
 

               [Am]       [F]              [C]                          [G]
I got tired of waiting,   wondering if you were ever coming around
                   [Am]     [F]
My faith in you was fading
       [C]                           [G]
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
 

[C]
Romeo, save me I've been feeling so alone
[G]
I keep waiting for you but you never come
   [Am]
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
   [F]                       [G]
He knelt to the ground and 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 I really know
  [Bm]
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
[G]                  [A]             [D]
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
 

   [A]      [Bm]
Uh oh, uh oh
       [G]                                    [D]
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
