{intro} 
 
C {stop}          (G/B) Am {stop} 
  A lovestruck Romeo     sings the streets a serenade 
         C {stop}             (G/B) Am {stop} 
 Now he's laying everybody low,      he's got a love song that he made 
G              G                           G {stop} 
 He finds a convenient streetlight, and he, he steps out of the shade 
     and he says something like 
F             G       G 
 You and me, babe, how about it? 
 
C              C              Am                   Am 
 Juliet says, Hey, it's Romeo! He nearly gave me a heart attack, yeah well 
C                    C                        Am {stop} 
 He's underneath my window, now she's singing, hey-la, my boyfriend's back 
G              G               G                     G 
 You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that 
  F                         G       G 
 Oh, anyway, whatcha gonna do about it? 
 
     C   G              F                  
 Juliet,  the dice were loaded from the start 
       C   G            F             
 And I bet, and you exploded into my heart 
           C        G  Am         Am 
 And I forget, I forget the movie song 
G                  G           G                        F 
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong 
 
 C   C   Am   Am 
 Julie?

 {instrumental} 
 
C {stop}                        (G/B) Am {stop} 
 We both come up on different streets, and they were both the streets of shame 
                 C {stop}          (G/B)Am                   Am 
 You know they're both dirty, both mean,  yes and even the dreams were the same 
G                    G                G                   G 
 Well I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real, so tell me honey 
F                                   G                         G 
 Now how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals? 
 
             C                  C      Am                      Am 
 Now you can fall for chains of silver, and you can fall for chains of gold 
              C             C               Am            Am 
 You know you, you fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold 
G                      G                       G                         G    
 Well you promised me everything, and then you, and then you promised me thick 
     and thin 
             F {stop} 
 And now you just turn away and say, Romeo? 
           G                         G 
 I think I used to have a scene with him 
 
         C   G              F                  
 Oh, Juliet,  when we made love you used to cry 
           C                    G                F                 
 You said I love you like the stars above, gonna love you till I die 
           C           G  Am                     Am 
 There's a place for us,   I know you know this song 
G                   G                   G                        F 
 Now when you gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong? 
 
 C    C      Am        Am 
 Julie,  I'm so in love,  so in love 
C   C   Am   Am 
 Yeah 
 
(G/B) C                    C  (G/B) Am {stop} 
       But I can't do the talk,      like they talk on my TV screen, and 
C              C      (G/B) Am                Am 
 I can't do a love song,     not the way you sung them to me 
G              G                  G               G 
 I can't do anything, but I would do anything for you, oh now 
F                      G                 G 
 I can't do anything except be in love with you, yeah now 
 
C            C       Am               Am 
 All I do is miss you and the way you used to be, you know 
C                C             Am {stop} 
 And all I do is keep the beat, I keep bad, bad company 
G                G       G                    G 
 And all I do is kiss you through the bars of this rhyme, well 
 F                           G     G 
 Julie, I'd do the stars with you anytime 
 
         C   G              F                  
 Oh, Juliet,  when we made love you used to cry; you said I 
 C                   G                    F                 
 Love you like the stars above, I'm gonna love you till I die.  There's a 
 C            G          Am        Am 
 Place for us, I know you know the movie song 
G                     G                  G {hold}                 F 
 One day we're gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong 
 
C     C   Am    Am 
 Julie,    Julie 
C     C   Am   Am  
 Julie 
 
C {stop}                  (G/B) Am {stop} 
 Well this lovestruck Romeo      sings the streets a serenade 
     C {stop}             (G/B) Am {stop} 
 He's laying everybody low,      he's got a love song that he made 
G {stop}                                      G {stop} 
 He finds a convenient streetlight, and he'll, he'll step out of the shade 
                             n.c. 
 And he'll say something like, you and me, babe, how about it?

The measures that I wrote as 'C  C  Am  Am ' go something like this:

It'll make sense once you try it.  The middle and ring fingers change 
the C chord, and the index finger and pinky mess with the Am.
