And the flashback starts BmI'm standing there on a G balcony in summer air DSee the lights,
see the party, the ball gowns GSee you make your
Way through the crowd BmAnd say, "Hello"
ALittle did I know
[Pre-Chorus] GThat you were Romeo, A you were throwing pebbles BmAnd my daddy said, D "Stay away from Juliet" GAnd I was crying on the staircase
ABegging you Bm G A Please don't go, and I said
[Chorus] DRomeo take me somewhere
we can be alone AI'll be waiting all
There's left to do is run BmYou'll be the prince and
I'll be the princess GADIt's a love story baby just say "yes"
[Verse] DSo I sneak out to the
garden to see you GWe keep quiet 'cause
we're dead if they knew BmSo close your eyes
AEscape this town for a little while
[Pre-Chorus] G'Cause you were Romeo, A I was a scarlet letter BmAnd my daddy said D stay away from Juliet GBut you were everything to me I was
ABegging you Bm G A please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]
DRomeo take me somewhere
we can be alone
AI'll be waiting all
There's left to do is run BmYou'll be the prince and
I'll be the princess GIt's a love story A baby just say yes DRomeo, save me,
they try to tell me
how to feel AThis love is difficult,
but it's real, BmDon't be afraid,
we'll make it
out of this mess GIt's a love story A baby just say yes, oh
[Solo]
DABmGA[Bridge]
BmGI got tired of waiting, wondering if DA you were ever coming around BmGMy faith in you was fading
DWhen I met you on the A outskirts of town and I said
[Chorus] DRomeo save me I've been
feeling so alone AI keep waiting for you
but you never come BmIs this in my head,
I don't know what to think
GHe knelt to the ground and A pulled out a ring and said
EMarry me, Juliet
you'll never have to be alone BI love you, and that's
All I really know
C#mI talked to your dad,
go pick out a white dress ABEIt's a love story baby just say yes
[Bridge] EBF#mAF#mOh I remember you drivin' to my house
AIn the middle of the night
EI'm the one who makes you laugh
BWhen you know you're about to cry
F#mAnd I know your favorite songs
AAnd you tell me about your dreams
EThink I know where you belong
BThink I know it's with me
[Chorus] ECan't you see that I'm the
one who understands you BBeen here all along, F#m so why can't you see? AYou belong with me
EStanding by and waiting
At your back door BAll this time how could F#m you not know, baby AYou belong with me, E you belong with me
[Outro] BYou belong with me
F#mHave you ever thought just maybe
AEYou belong with me, you belong with me
