Rhythm – DDUU DU
(D)We were both young when I first saw you
I (G)close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standin’ (Bm)there
On a balcony in (G)summer air
(D)See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
(G)See you make your way through the crowd
And say, (Bm)“Hello”
Little did (A)I know
That (G)you were Romeo, you were (A)throwin’ pebbles
And my (Bm)daddy said, “Stay away from (D)Juliet”
And I was (G)cryin’ on the staircase
(A)Beggin’ you, “Please don’t (Bm)go, ” (G)and (A)I said
(D)Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
(A)I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
(Bm)You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
(G)It’s a love story, (A)baby, just say,”Yes” (D)
So (D)I sneak out to the garden to see you
(G)We keep quiet, ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your (Bm)eyes
Escape this town for a little (A)while, oh oh
‘Cause (G)you were Romeo, I was a (A)scarlet letter
And my (Bm)daddy said, “Stay away from (D)Juliet”
But you were (G)everything to me
I was (A)beggin’ you, “Please don’t (Bm)go, ” (G)and (A)I said
(D)Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
(A)I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
(Bm)You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
(G)It’s a love story, (A)baby, just say, “Yes”
(D)Romeo, save me, they’re tryna tell me how to feel
(A)This love is difficult, but it’s real
(Bm)Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
(G)It’s a love story, (A)baby, just say, “Yes”
Solo – D, A, Bm, G A
I got tired of (Bm)waiting(G)
Wonderin’ if (D)you were ever comin’ (A)around
My faith in you (Bm)was fading(G)
When I (D)met you on the outskirts of (A)town, and I said
(D)Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
(A)I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is (Bm)this in my head? I don’t know what to think
He (G)knelt to the ground and (A)pulled out a ring
And said, (E)“Marry me, Juliet
You’ll never have to be alone
(B)I love you and that’s all I really know
I (C#m)talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
(A)It’s a love story, (B)baby, just say, (E)“Yes”
Oh, (B)oh, oh
(C#m)Oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause (A)we were both young when I first saw (E)you
