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

When you saw me looking so alone, oh no
Dm G
That's something only the artist could know
