Love Story

(F)We were both young when I first saw you.

I (Bb)close my eyes and the flashback starts.

I'm standin' (Dm)there on a balcony in (Bb)summer air.

(F)See the lights, see the party,

the ball gowns.

(Bb)See you make your way through the crowd and say (Dm)hello.

Little did (C)I know

that (Bb)you were Romeo.

You were (C)throwing pebbles, and my (Dm)daddy said,

"Stay away from (F)Juliet."

And I was (Bb)cryin' on the staircase,

(C)beggin' you, "Please don't go."

(Bb)And I said, (F)"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

(C)I'll be waiting.

All there's left to do is run.

(Dm)You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.

(Bb)It's a love story.

(C)Baby, just say yes."

(F)"Romeo, save me.

They're try'n' to tell me how to feel.

(C)This love is difficult, but it's real.

(Dm)Don't be afraid.

We'll make it out of this mess.

(Bb)It's a love story.

(C)Baby, just say

(F)yes."
