Verse
C D
Montague and Capulet
G Em
Already sets the scene
C D
I knew you were a foolish bet
G C
But it was better to beg than bleed
C D
From the very first night we met
G Em
You made me love you and I never should have left you
C D
Romeo and Juliet
G C
Nothing but a writer's dream
[Chorus]
Am Em
I remember the time when you told me
G C
"Baby, love is a work of art"
Am D
I saw you scanning the corners of the canvas
G C
Just like you didn't know where to
start
D G
I can't imagine the portrait you were painting
Em C
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no
Am D
That's something only the artist could know
[Refrain]
C D G E
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
[Verse 2]
C D
By the coast when I held your hand
G Em
Feels like a distant dream
C D
I knew I was a foolish man
G C
But I was caught up in a fantasy
C D
You held my face and you gently kissed
G Em
But all it told me was how much you'd miss me
C D
Romeo and Juliet
G C
Always bound to call a scene
[Chorus]
Am D
I remember the time when you told me
G C
"Baby, love is a work of art"
Am D
I saw you scanning the corners of the canvas
G C
Just like you didn't know where to start
