Chords

[Verse 1]
C                D
Montague and Capulet

    G               Em
Already sets the scene

 C                      D
I knew you were a foolish bet

              G                  C
But it was better to beg than bleed

  C                      D
From the very first night we met

   G                          Em
You made me love you and I never should have left you

  C             D
Romeo and Juliet

  G                        C
Nothing but a writer's dream
[Chorus]
Am                Em
I remember the time when you told me

          G                C
"Baby, love is a work of art"

 Am                        D
I saw you scanning the corners of the canvas

                 G              C
Just like you didn't know where to
start
  D                      G
I can't imagine the portrait you were painting

           Em                C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no

   Am                         D
That's something only the artist could know

[Refrain]
C D G E
Oo-oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo-oo
[Verse 2]
  C                    D
By the coast when I held your hand

  G                     Em
Feels like a distant dream

  C                 D
I knew I was a foolish man

               G              C
But I was caught up in a fantasy

  C                          D
You held my face and you gently kissed

   G                         Em
But all it told me was how much you'd miss me

  C         D
Romeo and Juliet

 G                         C
Always bound to call a scene
[Chorus]
 Am              D
I remember the time when you told me

          G                C
"Baby, love is a work of art"

 Am                       D
I saw you scanning the corners of the canvas

                 G              C
Just like you didn't know where to start

 D                     G
I can't imagine the portrait you were painting

           Em                  C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no

   Am                         D
That's something only the artist could know

"Baby, love is a work of art"

Am                         D
I saw you scanning the corners of the canvas

                 G               C
Just like you didn't know where to start

   D                     G
I can't imagine the portrait you were painting

            Em                 C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no

[Outro]
    Am               D
I remember the time when you told me

          G                C
"Baby, love is a work of art"

Am                         D

   D                     G
I can't imagine the portrait you were painting

            Em                 C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no

  Am                           D
That's something only the artist could know
