Love Story

Dm
We were both young when I first saw 
you
Gm
I close my eyes, and the flashback 
starts
               Bb
I'm standing there
                        A
On a balcony in summer air
Dm
See the lights, see the party, the 
ball gowns
Gm
See you make your way through the 
crowd
            Bb
And say, "Hello"
           A
Little did I know


[Pre-Chorus 1]
   Gm                        
That you were Romeo, you were 
    A
throwing pebbles
         Bb                        
And my daddy said, "Stay away from 
  Dm
Juliet"
             Gm
And I was crying on the staircase
  A                        Bb   
Begging you, "Please don't 
Dm  A
go-o-o", and I said


[Chorus 1]
 Dm
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be 
alone
 A
I'll be waiting, all therе's left to
 do is run
 Bb
You'll be the princе and I'll be the
 princess
  Gm                 A
It's a love story, baby, just say..


Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
   Dm
So I sneak out to the garden to see 
you
 Gm
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if 
they knew
               Bb
So close your eyes
                          A
Escape this town for a little while


[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Gm                    
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a 
     A
scarlet letter
          Bb                       
And my daddy said, "Stay away from 
   Dm
Juliet"
                   Gm
But you were everything to me
          A                    
I was begging you, "Please 
Bbmaj7 Dm  A
don't go-o-o", and I said


[Chorus 2]
 Dm
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be 
alone
  A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to
 do is run
 Bbmaj7                   Bb
You'll be the prince and I'll be the
 princess
  Gm                A
It's a love story baby just say 
"Yes"
  Dm
Romeo, save me, they're trying to 
tell me how to feel
  A
This love is difficult, but it's 
real
    Bb
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out 
of this mess
   Gm                A            
It's a love story, baby, just say 
  Dm
"Yes"


[Bridge]
                 Bb     Gm
I got tired of waiting
              Dm                 
Wondering if you were ever coming 
    A
around
                 Bb      Gm
My faith in you was fading
       Dm                          
When I met you on the outskirts of 
  A
town
               Dm
And I said, "Romeo, save me, I've 
been feeling so alone
 A
I keep waiting for you but you never
 come
    Bb
Is this in my head? I don't know 
what to think"
     Gm                       A
He knelt to the ground and pulled 
out a ring, and said


[Other]
   Em
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have
 to be alone
 B
I love you, and that's all I really 
know
     C
I talked to your dad, go pick out a 
white dress
  Am                 B            
It's a love story, baby, just say 
  Em
"Yes"
