C            D
Montague and Capulet

G                Em
Already sets the scene

C                 D
I knew you were a foolish bet

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

          G                C   C/B
"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                  C/B
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no

Am                        D
That's something only the artist could've known

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

G             Em
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              Em
But I was caught up in a fantasy

C                         D
You held my face and you gently kissed me

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

C         D
Romeo and Juliet

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

       G                 C   C/B
"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         C/B
