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
 F
See you make your way through the crowd
             Am
And say, "Hello"
              G
Little did I know

[Pre-Chorus]
     F                              G
That we were meant to be but no me else agrees
             Am                             C
But I don't care about them because you're all I need
           F
And I was crying on the staircase
 G                         Am   F   G
Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said

[Chorus]
C
Baby, take me somewhere we can bе alone
G
I'll be waiting, all therе's left to do is run
Am
We'll go far away and we'll make it out this mess
F                   G               C
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[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, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
     F                               G
That we were meant to be but no one else agrees
             Am                             C
But I don't care about them because you're all I need
            F
And I was crying on the staircase
G                          Am   F   G
Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said

[Chorus]
C
Baby, take me somewhere we can be alone
G
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Am
We don't need a prince and you're not a damsel on distress
F                   G
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[Chorus]
C
Darling, won't you 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            C
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes"

[Post-Chorus]
G    Am    F    G
Oh, oh

[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

[Breakdown]
             C
And I said, "Darling, won't you 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
She knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

[Chorus]
D
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
A
I love you, and that's all I really know
    Bm
We'll go far away and we'll make it out this mess
G                   A             D
It's a love story, baby, just say 'Yes'"

[Outro]
A
Oh, oh, oh
Bm
Oh, oh, oh
       G                                   D
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
