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