(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.

Oh oh (A)oh,

oh oh (Bm7)oh.

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

(D)you.
