[Verse 1]
C Am G
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
C 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
Juliet says, "hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
C G Am F
He's underneath the window, she's 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
G C G Am F
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
G C F Am F
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
Dm F G Am G C
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Interlude]
F C/G F G
[Verse 2]
C G Am G
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
C G Am F
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
G F G C
And 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
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
C 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, you know I used to have a scene with him"
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
G C G Am F
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
G C G F Am F
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm F G Am G C
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Interlude]
F C/G F G
[Verse 3]
C Am G
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
C 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'll do anything for you
F G
I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
C Am
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
C Am F
All I do is keep the beat; the bad company
G F G C
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
F G
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
[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 G F Am F
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm F G Am G C
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Interlude]
F C/G F G
C F C F G
[Verse 4]
C Am G
And a love struck Romeo sing the streets a serenade
C Am F
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G F G C
Find a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
F G
He says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
[Outro]
F G x13
(You and me babe, how about it?)
