Dm A# F A#
the cafes are all deserted , the streets are wet again ,

when the tourists go and the cold winds blow ,
F C A# G9
and my girl is on a plane , home . . .

i’m never going to love another , the way that i have loved you ,
it’s taken me a little time to discover it ,
now i know it’s true , but fatal hesitation ,
made me miss the show ,

G Gm7 Fmaj7/A A# – A#/C
oh romeo is standing in the rain ,
F Gm7 Fmaj7/A A# – A#/C
and i know that i have let her____ slip away ,

Dm C A# F
fatal hesitation , ah , fatal hesitation . . .
i saw you again this morning , walking down the beach ,
and though you are a thousand miles away ,
you were only just out of reach , but when i got up close ,
and i saw her face , i knew it couldn’t be so , no , no;
oh romeo is standing in the rain ,
and i , yes i know , i have let her slip away ,
fatal hesitation , fatal hesitation ,

C# D#/C# F/C
i’m going to get on my____ boat and sail away;
oh romeo is standing in the rain ,
and i , yes i know , i have let her slip away ,
fatal hesitation ,
fatal hesitation ,
fatal hesitation ,
fatal hesitation . . .
i’m going to read a little shakespeare ,
and get her out of my head ,
it doesn’t matter any more ,
i’m going to miss her just a little bit ,
just a little bit . . .
