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?

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong,  Juliet?

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

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