[Intro] C | | G F | | G (x4) [Verse 1]
C                    G Am                             G C
  A lovestruck Romeo      sings the streets a serenade

                     G Am                  F
Laying everybody low      with a love song that he made

G                       F G                  C
  Finds...a street light,   steps out of the shade

                    F                        G
Says something like,  "You and me babe, how about it?"

C                               G Am                                 G C
  Juliet says "Hey, it's Romeo!,     you nearly gimme a heart attack"

                           G             Am            F
He's underneath the window, she's singing  "Hey la, my boyfriend's back

G                           F    G                         C
  You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that,

        F                    G
Anyway,   what you gonna do about it...?"
[Chorus]
    C   G              Am              F
Juliet,   the dice was loaded from the start

      C    G           Am           F
And I bet,   and you exploded in my heart

         C         F    Am            F
And I forget, I forget      the movie song

Dm                               F              Am      G           C
   When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong,  Juliet?

C                                G Am                                G C
   Come up on different streets,      they both were streets of shame

                 G    Am              F
Both dirty, both mean,   yes, and the dream was just the same

G                               F         G                 C
   And I dreamed your dream for you,  and now your dream is real

F                                     G
  How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

              C                          G Am                                G C
Well, you can fall for chains of silver,      you can fall for chains of gold

                             G    Am              F
You can fall for pretty strangers    and the promises they hold

G                            F G                 C
  You promised me everything,    you promised me thick and thin, yeah

F                                               G
  Now you just say, "Oh Romeo? yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
[Chorus]
    C   G              Am               F
Juliet,   when we made love you used to cry

            C                 G                 Am              F
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"

          C         F  Am                    F
There's a place for us    you know the movie song

Dm                               F             Am       G           C
   When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong,  Juliet?

C                       G Am                          G C
  I can't do the talks,      like they talk on the TV

                           G Am                   F
And I can't do a love song      like the way it's meant to be

G                       F        G               C
  I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you

F                              G
  I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you

C                           G Am                            G C
   And all I do is miss you,      and the way we used to be

C                            G  Am         F
   All I do is keep the beat,      and bad company

G                       F G                      C
   All I do is kiss you,   through the bars of a rhyme

F                                       G
   Juliet, I'd do the stars...with you     anytime
[Chorus]
    C   G              Am               F
Juliet,   when we made love you used to cry

            C                 G                 Am              F
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"

          C         F  Am                F
There's a place for us    you know...the movie song

Dm                               F             Am       G           C

G                                 F G                C
  Finds a convenient street light,  steps out of the shade

                      F                   G         
Says something like...  "You and me babe,    how 'bout it?"
