Verse 1
D Bm A
A lovestruck Romeo sing the streets a serenade
D Bm G
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
A G A D
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
G A
Says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
D A Bm A
Juliet says, "hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
D A Bm G
He's underneath the window, she's singing, "hey la my boyfriend’s back
A G A D
You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that
G A
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
Chorus
D A Bm G
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
D A Bm G
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
A D G Bm G
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
Em G Bm A D
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
D D A G G A
Interlude | | | ||x2
Verse 2
D A Bm A
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
D A Bm G
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
A G A D
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
G A
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
D A Bm A
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
D A Bm G
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
A G A D
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
G A
Now you just say, "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
Chorus
D A Bm G
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
D A Bm G
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
A D G Bm G
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Em G Bm A D
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
D D A G G A
Interlude | | | ||x2
Verse 3
D Bm A
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
D A Bm G
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
A G A D
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
G A
I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
D Bm A
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
D Bm G
All I do is keep the beat; the bad company
A G A D
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
G A
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
Chorus
D A Bm G
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
D A Bm G
You said I love you like the stars above; I'll love you till I die
A D G Bm G
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Em G Bm A D
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
