[Intro]
| C     G | F    G | (x4)
 
[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 gave me a heart attack..
                           G Am                   F
He's underneath the window,    singing hey la, my boyfriend's back
G                               F G                        C
  You shouldn't come around here singing up to 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
      G   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 C
  We come up on different streets,     they both were streets of shame
                      G Am            F
Both dirty, both mean,    and yes the dream was just the same
G                                     F G                C
   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 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
       G   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 talk      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 except be in love with you
 
C                           G Am                           G C
   And all I do is miss you      and the way we used to be
                          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
      G   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?

  Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
                      F                       G
Says something like...  you and me babe, how 'bout it?

The bottom line is that it is an original piece of music, a love song that was put together by an incredible musician, that can still instill passion between people to bring us all together, instead of apart as the trend seems to be...

Intro works best for me when you add a extra G chords, so it becomes: c-g-fmaj-g
