Love Story Chords

[Intro]
C  G  Am  F
 
[Verse 1]
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-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  F      G
Begging you please don't go,   and I said
 
[Chorus]
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"
 
[Verse 2]
   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-Chorus]
       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
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Solo]
| C   | C   | G   | G   |
          Oh-ohh
| Am  | Am  | F   | G
 
[Bridge]
               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
 
[Chorus]
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
