No Capo.
D,A,Em, G
D
We were both young when I first saw you
A
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Em G
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
A
See you make your way through the crowd
Em G
And say hello, little did I know
D
That you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
A
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
Em
And I was crying on the staircase
G
Begging you please don't go
CHORUS:
And I said
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Em
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
A
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
Em G
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
Oh, oh, oh
D
'Cause you were Romeo,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/taylor_swift/love_story_crd_ver_3.html ]
I was a scarlet letter
A
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
Em
But you were everything to me
G
I was begging you please don't go
CHORUS:
And I said
D
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
Em
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
D
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
A
This love is difficult, but it's real
Em
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
D,A,Em,G
(Single Strokes)
D A
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
Em
My faith in you was fading
G
When I met you on the outskirts of town
CHORUS: (normal strumming now)
G
And I said
D
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Em
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G
He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring
And said
D
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
A
I love you and that's all I really know
Em
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
D,A, Em
G
We were both young when I first saw you
