[Bb]
[F]
[Bb] [C]
[F] So you're a struggling Romeo, [Dm] got a serenade
[C] [F]
Laying everybody low [Dm]
with a [Bb] love song that he made
[C]
Finds the convenient street light, steps out of the [F] shade
He says, [Bb] you and me babe, [C] how about it?
[F] Juliet says, blow me down this Romeo, [Dm] nearly give me a heart attack
[C]
[F] He's underneath the window, [Dm] she's singing, hey love, [Bb] my boyfriend's back
[C]
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people [F] like that
[Bb] Anyway, what you gonna do?
[C]
[F] Juliet, [C]
the [Dm] dice was loaded from [Bb] the start
And [F] I bet, [C] you [Dm] exploded into [Bb] my heart
[C] And I [F]
forget, [Bb] I forget, the movie song
[Gm] Then you only [Bb] realize, that the time [Dm] was wrong
[C] [F] Juliet,
[Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb] [C]
[F] come up on different streets
[Dm]
Well, they're both worse streets to [C] shame
[F]
Both dirty and both mean
[Dm] Yes, and the [Bb] dream was just the same
[C] And I dreamed your dream for you
So now your dream [F] is real
[Bb] How can you look at me as if [C] I'm just another one of your deals?
When [F] you can fall for chains of silver
[C]
[D] You can fall for chains [C] of gold
[F]
You can fall for pretty strangers
[Dm]
And the [Bb] promises they [C] hold
You promised me everything
Yeah, you promised [F] me thick and thin
[Bb] Now you just say, oh Romeo, yeah
[C] You know, I used to have a scene with him
[F] Juliet, [C] when we made [Dm] love
You [Bb] used to cry
You [F] said, I love you like the [C] stars above
You said, [Dm] I love you baby, [Bb] till I die
[C] And there's [F] a place [Bb] for us
[Dm]
[Bb] You know the movie song
