(D)We were both young when I first saw you.

I (Gsus2)close my eyes and the flash back starts; I’m stand ing (Bm)there

on a bal con y in (Gsus2)sum mer air.

(D)See the lights, see the par ty, the ball gowns.

(Gsus2)See you make your way through the crowd and say “hel (Bm)lo”;

lit tle did I know...

That (G)you were Ro me o, you were (A)throw ing peb bles, and my (Bm)dad dy said, “Stay a way from (D)Ju li et.” And I was (G)cry in’ on the stair case, (A)beg gin’ you, “Please don’t (Bm)go.”

And I said, (D)“Ro me o, take me some where we can be a lone.

(A)I’ll be wait ing; all there’s left to do is run.

(Bm7)You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the prin cess.

(G)It’s a love stor y, (A)ba by, just say yes.” (D)“Ro me o, save me; they’re try’n’ to tell me how to feel.

This love is dif fi cult, but it’s real.

(Bm7)Don’t be a fraid, we’ll make it out of this mess.

(G)It’s a love stor y, (A)ba by, just say (D)yes.”

Oh oh (A)oh,

oh oh (Bm7)oh.

’Cause (G)we were both young when I first saw

(D)you.

The song is in the key of D at 119 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
