Introduction: D
D
We were both young when I first saw you
A
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
Bm
You're standing there
G A
On a balcony in summer air
D
See the lights, see the party the ball gown
A
See me make my way through the crowd
Bm
to say hello,
G A
little did you know
G A
That I was Romeo, I was throwin pebbles
Bm D
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
G
You were crying on your staircase
A Bm
Beggin me please don't go
D
And I said
D
Check yes Juliet are you with me
D
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
Bm G A
I won't go until you come outside
D
You said Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Bm
You be the prince and I'll be the princess
G A
It's a love story baby now
Bm D G
Run baby run, don't ever look back
A Bm D G A
They'll tear us apart if we give them the chance
Bm D G A
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Bm D G A
Run baby run, forever we'll be
D A
You and me
D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
A
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
Bm G A
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
G A
I was romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Bm D
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
G
You were everything I wanted
A Bm
You were beggin me please don't go
D
And I said

Bm D G A
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Bm D G A
Run baby run, forever we'll be
Bm
Ooh I'm tired of waiting
G D A
Wondering if I was ever coming around
Bm
Your faith in me is fading
G D A
when you met me on the outskirts of this town
When you said
D
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G A
Then I knelt to the ground and said
Bm D G
Run baby run, don't ever look back
A Bm D G A
They'll tear us apart if we give them the chance
Bm D G A
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Bm D G A
Run baby run, forever we'll be
You and me
