VERSE 1
C                    G Am                             G C
  A lovestruck Romeo     sings the streets a serenade
C                      G Am                 F
  Laying everybody low     with a love song that he made
G                                  G                C
  Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
                      F                       G
Says something like...  you and me babe, how 'bout 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                                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
         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,     and they were both streets of shame
                      G Am            F
Both dirty, both mean,    and yes the dream was just the same
G                                      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                             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
          C         F    Am                    F
There's a place for us,     you know the movie song
Dm                            F                      Am    G    C
   When you gonna realize its 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                                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                       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 its just that the time was wrong,  Juliet?
