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

I remember the time when you told me
E A
"Baby, love is a work of art"
