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