Love Story Chords

No Capo.

D,A,Em, G

D
We were both young when I first saw you
A
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
               Em                    G
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
A
See you make your way through the crowd
          Em              G
And say hello, little did I know


      D
That you were Romeo 

You were throwing pebbles
         A
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
           Em
And I was crying on the staircase
                         G
Begging you please don't go


CHORUS:

And I said
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Em
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
A
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
               Em                            G
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while

Oh, oh, oh

        D
'Cause you were Romeo,

I was a scarlet letter
         A
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
                 Em
But you were everything to me
                               G
I was begging you please don't go

CHORUS:

And I said
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Em
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

D
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
A
This love is difficult, but it's real
Em
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

D,A,Em,G

(Single Strokes)
                 D                             A
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
                      Em
My faith in you was fading
                      G
When I met you on the outskirts of town

CHORUS: (normal strumming now)
G
And I said
D
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Em
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G
He knelt to the ground and he 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
Em
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

D,A, Em

G
