[Verse]
                   Dm                         
A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
F                    Dm               Bb          
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
C                                    F    
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
                    Bb                     C       
Says something like ■  You and me babe how about it
F                          Dm                               
Juliet says Hey it's Romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack
F                                  Dm                Bb          C   
■ He's underneath the window she's singing Hey la my boyfriend's back
                                                         F   
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Bb                       C       
Anyway what you gonna do about it


[Chorus]
F      C              Dm              Bb   
Juliet ■ the dice was loaded from the start
      F   C       Dm               Bb   
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
      F        Bb     Dm           Bb  
And I forget I forget ■  the movie song
Gm                            Bb                     Dm    F     
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet

[Verse]
                             Dm                                
Come up on different streets ■  they both were streets of shame
F                    Dm                Bb               
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
C                                                      F   
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
Bb                                    C                             
■  How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals
             F                         Dm                             
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold


[Chorus]
F                                 Dm               Bb   C   
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
                                           F                  
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin yeah
Bb                                        C                            
Now you just say Oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
F      C            Dm               Bb 
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
            F                 C           Dm                   Bb  
You said 'I love you like the stars above I'll love you 'til I die'
          F     Bb     Dm              Bb        
There's a place for us ■  you know the movie song
Gm                            Bb                     Dm    F     
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet

[Verse]
                          Dm                    
I can't do the talks like ■  they talk on the TV
F                          Dm                Bb         
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
C                                                F  
■ I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
Bb                               C               
■  I can't do anything except be in love with you
F                          Dm                          
■ And all I do is miss you ■  and the way we used to be
F                           Dm         Bb      C
■ All I do is keep the beat ■  the bad company ■
                                         F      
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Bb                              C         
Julie I'd do the stars with you ■ any time


[Chorus]
F      C            Dm               Bb 
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
         F                    C           Dm                   Bb  
You said 'I love you like the stars above I'll love you 'til I die'
          F     Bb     Dm       Bb            
There's a place for us you know the movie song
Gm                            Bb                     Dm    F     
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet

Find a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
                       Bb                 C Bb 
He says something like ■  You and me babe ■ how
