G                       D/F#  Cadd9
Juliet says 'hey it's Romeo'       he nearly gave me a heart attack
G                         D/F#   Cadd9
He's underneath my window, she's   singin' 'hey la my boyfriend's back'

you shouldn't come around here        singin' up at people like that
C                          D/F#
Anyway what you gonna do about it
 
[Chorus]
      G  D/F#             Em7             Cadd9
Juliet     our dice were loaded from the start
        G   D/F#         Em7            Cadd9
and I bet       you exploded into my heart
      G       D/F#  Em7            Cadd9
I forget I forget      the movie song
D/F#                Cadd9  D/F#
when you gonna realize      it was just that the time was wrong
   G          D/F#  Cadd9  G  D/F#  Cadd9
Ju-u-u-u-liet
 
[Verse 2]
G                        D/F#  Cadd9
Come upon different streets,        and they both were streets of shame
G                   D/F#   Cadd9
Both dirty, both mean,        and even your dream was just the same
D/F#                         Cadd9  D/F#                    G
And I dreamed your dream for you and     now the dream is real
C                                     D/F#
so how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals
 
G                                      D/F#  Cadd9
where you can fall for chains of silver          you can fall for chains of gold
G                                 D/F#   Cadd9
you can fall for pretty strangers,           and the promises they hold
D/F#                       Cadd9  D/F#              G
you promised me everything        you promised me thick and thin now you just
C                                        D/F#
turn around and say romeo yeah, you know i used to have a scene with him
 
[Chorus]
      G  D/F#           Em7            Cadd9
Juliet    when we made love you used to cry
            G                 D/F#                 Em7            Cadd9
You said I love you like the stars above I'm gonna love you till I die
      G       D/F#  Em7            Cadd9
I forget I forget      the movie song
D/F#                Cadd9  D/F#
when you gonna realize      it was just that the time was wrong
   G          D/F#  Cadd9  G  D/F#  Cadd9
Ju-u-u-u-liet
 
[Verse 3]
G                     D/F#  Cadd9
And I can't do the talk          like the talk on the TV
G                         D/F#   Cadd9
And I can't do a love song          like the way it's meant to be
D/F#                   Cadd9  D/F#                       G
So all I do is kiss you          through the bars of a rhyme
C                              D/F#
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
 
[Chorus]
      G  D/F#           Em7            Cadd9
Juliet    when we made love you used to cry
            G                 D/F#                 Em7            Cadd9
You said I love you like the stars above and I'll love you till I die
                      G       D/F#  Em7            Cadd9
You said there's a place for us,      you know the movie song
D/F#                Cadd9  D/F#
when you gonna realize      it was just that the time was wrong
   G          D/F#  Cadd9  G  D/F#  Cadd9
Ju-u-u-u-liet
 
[Outro]
G
Love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
N.C.
Layin' everybody low with a love song that he made
N.C.
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade and says something like
N.C.
You and me babe, how about it
