C
We were both young when I first saw you
F
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
Am
I'm standing there
F
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]
FG
That we were meant to be but no me else agrees
AmC
But I don't care about them because you're all I need
F
And I was crying on the staircase
GAmFG
Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said
[Chorus]
C
Baby, take me somewhere we can bе alone
G
I'll be waiting, all therе's left to do is run
Am
We'll go far away and we'll make it out this mess
FGC
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, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
FG
That we were meant to be but no one else agrees
AmC
But I don't care about them because you're all I need
F
And I was crying on the staircase
GAmFG
Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said
[Chorus]
C
Baby, take me somewhere we can be alone
G
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Am
We don't need a prince and you're not a damsel on distress
FG
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"
[Chorus]
C
Darling, won't you save me, they're trying 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
FGC
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"
[Post-Chorus]
GAmFG
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
Am
I got tired of waiting
FCG
Wondering if you were ever coming around
AmF
My faith in you was fading
CG
When I met you on the outskirts of town
[Breakdown]
C
And I said, "Darling, won't you 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"
FG
She knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said
[Chorus]
D
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
A
I love you, and that's all I really know
Bm
We'll go far away and we'll make it out this mess
GAD
It's a love story, baby, just say 'Yes'"
[Outro]
A
Oh, oh, oh
Bm
Oh, oh, oh
GD
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
