Now I know I'm going to get some smart arse
commenting on mistakes but this is for beginners.
I have simplified all the guitar parts but they 
work well enough.

[Verse]

F                  Dm                        C
A lovestruck Romeo    sings a streetsus serenade
F                    Dm                    Bb
Laying everybody low    with me a lovesong that he made
C                  Bb  C                   F
Finds a streetlight    steps out of the shade
                   Bb                      C
Says something like   you and me babe how about it ? 

F                         Dm                               C
Juliet says hey its Romeo    you nearly gimme a heart attack
F                                     Am           Bb
Hes underneath the window shes singing   hey la my boyfriends back
C                            Bb  C                          F
You shouldnt come around here    singing up at people like that
Bb                         C
Anyway what you gonna do about it ? 


[Chorus]

      F C                Dm            F
Juliet   the dice were loaded from the start
      F  C            Dm          F
And I bet  and you exploded in my heart
    C     F       Bb  Am           Bb
And I forget I forget    the movie song
Gm                     F      Bb                 C    Dm   F
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong  Juliet ? 


[Verse]

F                            Dm                              C
Come up on differents streets  they both were streets of shame
F                   Dm                      Bb
Both dirty both mean  yes and the dream was just the same
C                               F    C                 F  
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
Bb                                 C
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals ? 

              F                       C Dm                           C
When you can fall for chains of silver  you can fall for chains of gold
F                                Dm             Bb          C
You can fall for pretty strangers  and the promises they hold
                          Bb C                F
You promised me everything    you promised me thick and thin
Bb                                         C
Now you just says oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him


[Chorus]

    F C             Dm               Bb
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
           F                 C                Dm              Bb
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
C        F          Bb Dm                    Bb
There's a place for us    you know the movie song
Gm                     F      Bb                 C   Dm    C    F
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet ? 


[Verse]

F                 Dm                   C
I cant do the talk  like they talk on tv
F                        Dm                 Bb
And I cant do a love song  like the way its meant to be
C                    Bb      C               F
I cant do everything but I'd do anything for you
Bb                           C
I cant do anything except be in love with you

F                       Dm                        C
And all I do is miss you  and the way we used to be
F                      Dm        Bb
All do is keep the beat  and bad company
C                    Bb C                     F
All I do is kiss you    through the bars of a rhyme
Bb                              C
Julie I'd do the stars with you any time


[Chorus]

    F C              Dm               Bb
Juliet  when we made love you used to cry
           F                 C                Dm              Bb
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
C        F      C  Bb Dm              Bb
Theres a place for us    you know the movie song
Gm                     F      Bb                 C   Dm    C F
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet ? 

F                     Dm                         C
And a lovestruck Romeo  sings a streetsus serenade
F                   Dm                   Bb
Laying everybody low  with me a lovesong that he made
C                          Bb  C                  F
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
                   F               C
Says something like you and me babe how about it ?
