[Intro]
C G Am F

[Verse 1]
C
We were both young when I first saw you
F
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
Am
I’m standing there
F
On a balcony in summer air
C
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
Fmaj7
See you make your way through the crowd
Am
And say, “Hello”
G
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”
F
I was crying on the staircase
G Am
Begging you, “Please don’t go,”
F G
and I said

[Chorus]
C
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
G
I’ll be waiting, all there’s lеft to do is run
Am
You’ll be the prince and I’ll bе the prince too
F G
It’s a love story, baby, just say

C

[Verse 2]
C
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
F
We keep quiet, ‘cause we’re dead if they knew
Am
So close your eyes
G
Escape this town for a little while, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
F G
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Am C
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
F
But you were everything to me
G Am
I was begging you, “Please don’t go,”
G
and I said

[Chorus]
C
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
G
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
Am
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the prince too
F G
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”
C
Romeo, save me, they’re trying to tell me how to feel
G
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Am
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
F G
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”

[Post-Chorus]
C G
G Am
Oh baby, baby, just say “Yes”

F G

[Bridge]
Am
I got tired of waiting
F C G
Wondering if you were ever coming around
Am F
My faith in you was fading
C G
When I met you on the outskirts of town

[Verse 3]
C
I said, “Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
G
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Am
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think”
F G
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

[Chorus]
D
“Marry me, Julian, you’ll never have to be alone
A
I love you, and that’s all I really know
Bm
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
G
It’s a love story, baby, just say ‘Yes'”

D

[Outro]
Am A
Oh, say “Yes”
Bm G A D
