C             Am         F                 G
I live on the north side, she lived on the west

C               Am         F                 G
The west is the worst side, the north is the best

Am             Em     Am             Em
Her mother's a drunk, her father's a punk

      F                          D7                         G
But I know (yes I know) that our love (yes I know) could be real
[Chorus]

But we're starcrossed  -  we're like Romeo and Juliet

Starcrossed  -  she just don't belong in my social set

The Lord will look our way

And we'll be free - wo ohh oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
C                Am      F              G
We'd meet in the shadows, and wish on a star

C            Am          F           G
We kiss in a phone booth, or under a car

Am                 Em    Am               Em
Our friends put us down, they say we're a clown

        F                           D7                         G
When it hurts (yes it hurts) yes it hurts (yes it hurts) in my heart
[Chorus]
F    G     C      Em                  F             G
That we're starcrossed  -  we're like lollypops and caviar

C      Em                F               G
Starcrossed  -  so we'll drive up to the reservoir

     F                           E
Even though (even though) it's a sin (it's a sin)

      Am               Fm6
We'll throw each other in

             C         Am        Fm6
And we'll be free - wo ohh oh oh oh
