^DWe were both young when I first saw you ^AI close my eyes and the flashback starts I'm standing th^Emere on a balcony in su^Gmmer air ^DSee the lights, see the party, the ball gowns ^ASee you make your way through the crowd And say he^Emllo, little did ^GI know

That y^Dou were Romeo You were throwing pebbles And my da^Addy said stay away from Juliet And I was c^Emrying on the staircase Begging you please don't ^Ggo

^DRomeo, take me somewhere we can be alone ^AI'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run ^EmYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princess ^GIt's a love story, baby, just say yes

^DSo I sneak out to the garden to see you ^AWe keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your e^Emyes, escape this town for a li^Gttle while

'Cause y^Dou were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter And my da^Addy said stay away from Juliet But you were ever^Emything to me I was begging you please don't ^Ggo

^DRomeo, take me somewhere we can be alone ^AI'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run ^EmYou'll be the prince and I'll be the princess ^GIt's a love story, baby, just say yes

^DRomeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel ^AThis love is difficult, but it's real ^EmDon't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess ^GIt's a love story, baby, just say yes

I got tired of wa^Diting, wondering if you were e^Aver coming around My faith in you was fa^Emding When I met you on the ^Goutskirts of town

^GAnd I said ^DRomeo save me, I've been feeling so alone ^AI keep waiting for you but you never come ^EmIs this in my head, I don't know what to think ^GHe knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring

^DMarry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone ^AI love you and that's all I really know ^EmI talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress ^GIt's a love story, baby, just say yes

^GWe were both young when I first saw you
