A love struck Romeo, [Dm] singing streets of serenade, [F] laying everybody low [Dm] with a love [Bb] song that he [C] made.
Blinding the streetlight, steps out of the [F] shade, says something [Bb] like, you and me babe,
[C] how about it?
[F] Juliet says, hey it's Romeo, [Dm] you nearly gave me a heart attack.
[F] He's underneath the window, she's [Dm] singing, they like [Bb] how my boyfriends melt.
[C] You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people [F] like that.
[Bb] Anyway, what you gonna do [C] about it?
[F] Juliet, [C] the dice [Dm] was loaded from [Bb] the start, and [F] I bet, [C] any you [Dm] exploded into my heart,
and I [F] forget, I [Bb] forget, [Dm] the movie [Bb] song.
[Gm] When you gonna [Bb] realize, it was just the time was wrong.
[F] [Bb] Juliet,
[F] [Bb]
[F] come up on different streets, [Dm] they're both the streets of shame.
[F] Both dirty, both mean, [Dm] yes and the [Bb] dream was just the same.
[C] And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is [F] real.
[Bb] How can you look at me as if I [C] was just another one of your deals?
When [F] you can fall for chains of silver, [Dm] you can fall for chains of gold.
[F] You can fall for pretty [Dm] strangers, and the [Bb] promises they hold.
[C] You promised me everything, you promised me [F] thick and [Bb] thin, yeah.
Now you say, oh Romeo, yeah, [C] you know I used to have a scene with you.
[F] Juliet, [C] when [Dm] we made love, [Bb] she used to cry.
[F] Said I love you like the stars above, [Dm] I love you till I die.
[F] There's a place [Bb] for us, [Dm] you know in a [Bb] movie song.
[Gm] When you gonna realize, [Bb] it was just that the time was wrong.
[F] Juliet, I [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] can't do the talk, [Dm] like the talk on the TV.
[F] And I can't do a love song, [Dm] like the [Bb] way it's meant to be.
[C] I can't do everything, but I'll do anything [F] for you.
[Bb] I can't do everything [C] except be in love with you.
[F] All I do is miss you, [Dm] and the way we used [F] to be.
All I do is keep the beat, [Dm] the [Bb] band company.
[C] All I do is kiss you, through the bars [F] of Orion.
[Bb] Juliet, I'll do the stars [C] with you, anytime.
[F] Juliet, [C] when [Dm] we made love, [Bb] she used to cry.
[F] Said I love you like [C] the stars above, [Dm] I love you till I die.
[F] There's a place [Bb] for [Dm] us, you know [Bb] in a movie song.
[Gm] When you gonna realize, it [Bb] was just that the time was wrong.

Juliet, [Bb]
[F] [Bb]

[F] and love struck Romeo.
[Dm] Oh, he sings a sweet sultry [F] serenade.
Laying everybody low, [Dm] with [Bb] a love song at the [C] end of the day.
Find the convenience, creep by, step [F] outside of the shade.
He says [Bb] something like, you and me [C] baby, how about it, [Bb] [C]
[Bb] [C]
[Bb] [C] how about [Bb] it.
