[Intro]
C Fmaj7 G (x4)
[Verse]
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 its just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

C Fmaj7 G (x2)
[Verse]
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]
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?
