[Verse 1]
C                   Am                     G
 A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
C                  G  Am                   F
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G                     F  G                C
 Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
                     F                       G
 Says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
C                           G  Am                                G
 Juliet says, "hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
C                         G     Am                          F
 He's underneath the window, she's singing, "hey la my boyfriend’s back
G                              F  G                          C
 You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that
F                             G
 Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

[Chorus]
     C  G              Am               F
 Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
 G      C  G           Am             F
 And I bet and you exploded into my heart
     G     C         F  Am           F
 And I forget, I forget, the movie song
  Dm                            F                 G    Am  G  C
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 2]
C                         G  Am                               G
 Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
C                   G  Am                        F
 Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
G                               F G                         C
 And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
F                                          G
 How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
               C                      G Am                               G
 When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
C                                G Am            F
 You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
G                         F G                  C
 You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
F                                              G
 Now you just say, "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"

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

[Verse 3]
C                   Am                        G
 I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
C                        G Am                  F
 And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
G                       F G                      C
 I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
F                             G
 I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
C                        Am                         
 And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
C                         Am         F
 All I do is keep the beat; the bad company
G                       F G                     C
 And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
F                                 G
 Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time

[Chorus]
     C   G              Am              F
 Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
             C                  G                Am              F
 You said I love you like the stars above; I'll love you till I die
   G         C    G  F   Am             F
 There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm                              F                 G     Am  G   C
 When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

[Verse 4]
C                       Am                         G
 And a love struck Romeo sing the streets a serenade
C                    Am                  F
 Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G                              F G                  C
 Find a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
                          F                G
 He says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"

[Outro]
   F                   G x13 
 (You and me babe, how about it?)
