The story behind the song

"Love Story" was inspired by a boy that Taylor Swift's family and friends did not approve of. Swift wrote the song using William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as a reference point. The lyrics tell the story of a difficult romance that, unlike Shakespeare's tragedy, culminates in a marriage proposal. Released as the lead single from her second studio album, Fearless, this midtempo country pop song features acoustic instruments such as banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar.

[Intro]

C G Am F

[Verse 1]

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

Am F

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did I know

[Pre-Chorus]

F G

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

Am C

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

G Am F G

Begging you please don't go, and I said

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

F G C

It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"

[Verse 2]

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

[Pre-Chorus]

F G

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

Am C

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me

G Am F G

I was begging you please don't go, and I said

[Chorus]

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
