{c:Verse I:}
        [F]A lovestruck Rome[C]o [Dm]sings the streets a serenad[C]e[F]
        [F]Laying everybody [C]lo[Dm]w with a love s[C]ong that he [Bb]made
        [C]Finds a street light steps[Bb] ou[C]t into the sh[F]ade
        Says som[Bb]ething like you and me babe, [C]how about it?   
        [F]Juliet says hey it's Romeo,[C] y[Dm]ou nearly gave me a heart [C]at[F]tack
        [F]He's underneath the window[C], [Dm]she's singing hey la my boyf[C]ri[Bb]ends back
        [C]you shouldn't come around he[Bb]re s[C]inging up to people like [F]that
        A[Bb]nyway, what you gonna do a[C]bout it?

{c:Chorus I:}
        [F]Juliet [C]the dice was l[Dm]oad[C]ed from the st[Bb]art
        [F]And I b[C]et, and you ex[Dm]plo[C]ded in my hear[Bb]t.

        [Gm]When you gonna realize it was just t[F]hat the t[Bb]ime wa[C]s wron[Dm]g  J[C]uli[F]et?
 

{c:Verse II:}
        Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame
        Both dirty both mean, yes and even and dream was just the same
        And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.
        How can you look at me as if I was just another part of your deal

        Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold.
        you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
        You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah
        Now you just say oh Romeo yeah, I used to have a scene with him.

{c:Chorus II:}
        Juliet when we made love you used to cry
        you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
        There's a place for us, you know the movie song
        When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

{c:Verse III:}
        I can't do the talk, like they talk on the tv
        I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
        I can't do anything, but I'd do anything for you.
        I cant't do anything but be in love with you.

        And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
        All I do is keep the beat and bad company.
        All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
        Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime.

{c:Repeat Chorus II:}

{c:Verse IV:}
        A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade.
        Now he's laying everymody low, with a love song that he made.
        Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
        Says something like you and me babe how about it

{c:Outro:}
        Bb C  (as long as the lead player can do those tasty fills)
