[Verse 1]
G                   Em                                G
A Lovestruck Romeo,     sings the streets a serenade.
                      Em                  C
Laying Everybody low,     with a love song that he made.
D                   C D                    G
Finds a streetlight,   steps out in the shade
                    C                      D
Says something like "You and Me Babe, How about it?"
 
G                              Em                                G
Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
                                            Em                  C
He's underneath the window, she's singing  "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back
 D                   C D                    G
You shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that
     C                      D
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
 
[Chorus]
 
G     D               Em               C
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start.
       G  D          Em         C
And i bet, you exploded in my heart.
          G      D C  Em     C
And i forget, i forget, the movie song.
Am                             C                 D      Em
When You Gonna Realise It was just that the time was wrong?
D    G
Juliet.
 
[Verse 2]
G                              Em                                G
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
                       Em                     C
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
D                             C D                    G
And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
C                                D
How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?
 
G                                        Em                                G
Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
                                 Em            C
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
D                         C D                         G
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
C
Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know
D
I used to have a scene with him"
 
[Chorus]
G     D               Em               C
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
       G               D                Em                 C
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"
                G    D  C   Em            C
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
Am                             C                  D   Em
When You Gonna Realise It was just that the time was wrong?
D    G
Juliet.
 
[Verse 3]
G                     Em                                G
I can't do the talk, like the talk on the TV
                            Em                  C
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
D                   C D                    G
I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you
C                                           D
I can't do anything except be in love with you
 
G                         Em                                G
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
                           Em          C
All I do is keep the beat, and the bad company
D                      C D                    G
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
C                                D
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time
 
[Chorus]
G     D               Em               C
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
       G               D                Em                 C
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"
                G    D  C   Em            C
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
Am                             C                  D   Em
When You Gonna Realise It was just that the time was wrong?
D    G
Juliet.
 
[Verse 4]
G                   Em                                G
A Lovestruck Romeo,     sings the streets a serenade.
                      Em                  C
Laying Everybody low,     with a love song that he made.
D                            C    D                   G
He finds a convenient Streetlight,   steps out in the shade
                    C                      D
Says something like "You and Me Babe, How about it?"
