[Intro]
C  G  Am  F
[Versetto]
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
[Pre-Ritornello]
     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
[Ritornello]
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"
[Versetto]
   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
[Pre-Ritornello]
       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 I was 
G                        Am  F   G 
Begging you please don't go, and I said
[Ritornello]
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, oh
[Solo]
C  G  Am  F G
[Ponte]
               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
[Ritornello]
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
[Outro]
   A      Bm 
Uh oh, uh oh  
      G                                    D 
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
