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