  A                    E  F#m                   D
   Laying everybody low,     with a lovesong that he made.

E                     D E                  F#m
  Finds a streetlight,   steps out in the shade says something like

D/F#                E
 "You and me babe,   How about it?"

A                             E D                                  E
  Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"

  A
   He's underneath the window

E  F#m                        D
  she's singing "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back

E                                D E                    F#m
  You shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that

D/F#                              E  E  E
  Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
[Chorus 1]
A     E                 F#m             D
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start.

       A    E       F#m            D
And I bet,   you exploded in my heart.

          A    E  D       F#m         D
And I forget, I forget, the movie song.

Bm                           D             E         A (lick)
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?

A
 Juliet.

[Verse 2]
 A                          E    D                                E
  Come up on different streets,   they both were streets of shame,

 A                        E  F#m                        D
   Both dirty, both mean,   yes, and the dream was just the same,

E                                D E                        F#m
And I dreamed your dream for you,   and now your dream is real

D/F#                              E
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

A                               E        D                              E
When you can fall for chains of silver,   you can fall for chains of gold

A                                  E F#m                      D
   You can fall for pretty strangers    and the promises they hold

E                           D E               F#m
 You promised me everything,  you promised me thick and thin, yeah

D/F#                                    E    E    E    E     E
Now you just say,'Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him'
[Chorus 2]
A     E                 F#m             D
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

            A          E               F#m               D
I said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die

              A     E D       F#m      D
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

Bm                           D                E      A (lick)
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?

A
 Juliet.

[Verse 3]
A                  E   D                    E
I can't do the talks,  like they talk on the TV

A                         E D                        E    D
  And I can't do a love song,   like the way it's meant to be

E                      D E                             F#m
I can't do everything,   but I'll do anything for you

D/F#                      E
I can't do anything except be in love with you

A                         E D                         E
  And all I do is miss you   and the way we used to be

A                         E   F#m           D
  All I do is keep the beat,  and bad company

E                          D E                        F#m
  And all I do is kiss you,    through the bars of a rhyme

D/F#                               E E E E E
 Juliet I'd do the stars with you, anytime
[Chorus 3]
A     E                 F#m             D
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry

            A          E               F#m               D
I said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die

              A     E  D     F#m      D
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

Bm                           D               E       A (lick)
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?
