Verse
G A
Montague and Capulet
D Bm
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 Bm
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]
Em Bm
I remember the time when you told me
D G
"Baby, love is a work of art"
Em 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
Bm G
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no
Em A
That's something only the artist could know
[Refrain]
G A D B
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 Bm
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 Bm
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
[Chorus]
Em A
I remember the time when you told me
D G
"Baby, love is a work of art"
Em 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
Bm G
When you saw me looking so alone, oh no
Em A
That's something only the artist could know
