Love story (video) (intro)

C - G - Am - F

C

1. 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 of summer air.

C

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns,

F

I see you make your way through the crowd,

Am F - G

you say, “Hello!” 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

2. So I sneak out to the garden to see you,

F

we keep quiet ‘cause we're dead if they know,

Am F G

so close your eyes, let’s keep this down for a little while, oh.

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!”

C G - Am - F - G

+ Oh oh.

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 - - - - - - -

Then 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 G D

Oh oh , oh oh, we were very young, when I first saw you.
