Love Story

Am C F G


[Verse 1]
Am
We were both young when I first saw you
  C
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
             F
I'm standing there
                G
On a balcony in summer air
  Am
I see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
C
See you make your way through the crowd
           F
And say "Hello"
           G
Little did I know


[Pre-Chorus]
     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
Begging you "Please don't go"
N.C
And I said


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


Am C F G


[Verse 2]
   Am
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
C
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
              F
So close your eyes
                       G
Escape this town for a little while



[Pre-Chorus]
       F                       G
'Cause I was Romeo, you were a scarlet letter
         Am                         C
And your daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
             F
But you were everything to me
          G                         Am
And I was begging you "Please don't go"
N.C
And I said



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


Am C F G


[Bridge]
               Am
I got tired of waiting
             C
Wondering if you were ever coming around
                  F
My faith in you was fading
       G
When I met you on the outskirts of town
N.C
And I said


[Chorus]
Am
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
C
I keep waiting for you but you never come
   F
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
   G
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Am
Marry me Juliet
                     G
You'll never have to be alone
F
I love you and that's all I really know
C
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
G
It's a love story, baby just say yes
