[Verse 1]
C                   Am                     G
 A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
C                  G  Am                   F
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G                     F  G                C
 Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
                     F                       G
 Says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
C                           G  Am                                G
 Juliet says, "hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
C                         G     Am                          F
 He's underneath the window, she's singing, "hey la my boyfriend’s back
G                              F  G                          C
 You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that
F                             G
 Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
 
[Chorus]
     C  G              Am               F
 Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
 G      C  G           Am             F
 And I bet and you exploded into my heart
     G     C         F  Am           F
 And I forget, I forget, the movie song
  Dm                            F                 G    Am  G  C
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 2]
C                         G  Am                               G
 Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
C                   G  Am                        F
 Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
G                               F G                         C
 And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
F                                          G
 How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
               C                      G Am                               G
 When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
C                                G Am            F
 You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
G                         F G                  C
 You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
F                                              G
 Now you just say, "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
 
[Chorus]
     C  G              Am                F
 Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
G            C                  G                Am              F
 You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
   G         C     G  F   Am                   F
 There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm                              F                  G    Am  G    C
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 3]
C                   Am                        G
 I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
C                        G Am                  F
 And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
G                       F G                      C
 I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
F                             G
 I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
C                        Am
 And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
C                         Am         F
 All I do is keep the beat; the bad company
G                       F G                     C
 And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
F                                 G
 Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
 
[Chorus]
     C   G              Am              F
 Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
             C                  G                Am              F
 You said I love you like the stars above; I'll love you till I die
   G         C    G  F   Am             F
 There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm                              F                 G     Am  G   C
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 4]
C                       Am                         G
 And a love struck Romeo sing the streets a serenade
C                    Am                  F
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G                              F G                  C
 Find a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
                          F                G
 He says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
 
[Outro]

 (You and me babe, how about it?)

Hi guys, can you please increase the range of the autoscroll to 2.5. I've played a few songs along with actual track and the lyrics and music don't keep up. Eg play Romeo and Juliet using lyrics from the app whilst listening to the original release. The autoscroll is too slow and not able to be increased to meet the speed of the original recording

Of course it was a transcription error. He never sings streetsuss and there’s no such word…
