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