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?


Interlude   D      |D   A   |G       |G    A   ||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?


Interlude   D      |D   A   |G       |G    A   ||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?


Interlude   D      |D   A   |G       |G    A  ||x4


Verse 4
D                       Bm                         A
 And a love struck Romeo sing the streets a serenade
D                    Bm                  G
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
A                              G A                  D
 Find a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
                        G                A
 He says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"


Outro Solo    G           |A          ||x13 (and fade)
               (You and me babe, how about it?)
