Love Story Chords

[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
I'm standing there on a balcony in the summer air
 
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
G
See you make your way through the crowd 
            Bm
And say "hello" 
           A
Little did I know
 
     G                        A
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
       Bm                         D
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet" 
          G
And I was crying on the staircase 
A                         Bm
Begging you "Please don't go" and I said 
 
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess 
G                  A                    D
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes." 
 
   D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
G
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew 
              Bm
So close your eyes
                       A
Escape this town for a little while... Oh, oh
 
       G                       A
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter 
       Bm                         D
and my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet" 
             G
But you were everything to me
      A                         Bm
I was begging you "Please don't go", and I said 
 
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone 
A
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run 
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G                  A
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes."  
 
D
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel 
A
This love is difficult, but it's real
Bm
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess 
G                  A
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes."
 
[Solo]
D  A  Bm  G
Oh, oh
 
               Bm       G              D                     A
I got tired of waiting,   wondering if you were ever coming around 
                  Bm   G
My faith in you was fading
       D                           A
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
 
D
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone 
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come 
   Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think 
   G                       A
He knelt to the ground and 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 I really know
  C#m
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
A                  B              E
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes." 
E   B   C#m
Oh, oh, oh
       A                                   E
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
