intro : piano A ( bare )
= = = = = =

verse1 : B – A – E – E ( 9 )
= = = = = = =
this is story about a boy and girl
trying find a life in the big world
somehow they’re together

there ain’t much to the mystery
misery loves company
she just waves her hand and says whatever

prechorus : F# – G#m – A ( bare )
well this ain’t love , this ain’t love , this ain’t love at all
and he says . . .

chorus :
= = = = = = =
E B Fm#
we’re not romeo we’re not juliet
A E ( E9 )
how long does it take to fill this emptyness
E B Fm#
we’re just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets
Fm# A
we don’t wanna say bye – bye
Fm# A
babe it’s just you and i
Fm# Gm# – A A
we’re not romeo we’re not juliet

verse2 : B – A – E – E ( 9 )
= = = = = = =
he ain’t pretty with his hard old heart
second generation immigrant scars
and he knows that this ain’t heaven – no no

she’s all skinny like a cigarette
and he’s the only thing – the only thing that she respects
and he’s trying to make it better

prechorus : F# – Gm# – A ( bare )
= = = = = = = = = =
and if this ain’t love , this ain’t love , this ain’t love at all
and she says . . .

chorus :
= = = = = = =
E B Fm#
we’re not romeo we’re not juliet
A E ( E9 )
you’d thought you’d seen it all – but you ain’t seen nothin’ yet
E B Fm#
we’re just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets
Fm# A
now it’s just you and i
Fm# A
we’re nothin’ unless we try
Fm# Gm# – A A
we’re not romeo . . . not juliet

bridge : B – Dm# – A – B
= = = = = = =

it has feel right but it never does
it has to be perfect but it never is
you wanna be sure but you never do
we’re not romeo or juliet – it’s just me and you

solo : ( rythm like in chorus )
= = = = =
E – B – Fm#
Fm# – A – E

( wah – wah solo improvisation – sample like this , with lot of feeling )
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – 7b9r7 – h9 – – 9 – 7~~~ – – 7b9r7 – h9 – – 9 – – – 7 – – – |
G – x – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 6 – – – – – |
