  A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
 
  Now he's laying everybody low, he's got a love song that he made
  He finds a convenient streetlight, and he, he steps out of the shade
  and he says something like
 You and me,  babe, how about  it?
 Juliet says, Hey,  it's Romeo!  He nearly gave me a heart  attack, yeah well
  He's underneath my window, now she's singing, hey-la, my boyfriend's back
 You shouldn't come  around here  singing up to people like  that
  Oh,  anyway, whatcha  gonna do about it?
  Juliet,  the dice were loaded  from the start
  And I bet,  and you exploded  into my heart
  And I forget,  I forget  the movie song
 When you gonna realize  it was just  that the time was wrong
  Julie?
 
  We both come up on different streets, and they were both the streets of shame
 
  You know they're both dirty, both mean, yes and even the dreams were the same
 Well I dreamed your dream  for you and  now your dream is real,  so tell me honey
 Now how can you look  at me as if I was just another  one of your deals?
  Now you can fall  for chains of silver,  and you can fall for chains  of gold
  You know you,  you fall for pretty  strangers  and the promises  they hold
 Well you promised me everything,  and then you,  and then you promised me thick
  and thin
 
  And now you just turn away and say, Romeo?
  I think I used  to have a scene with him
  Oh, Juliet,  when we made love  you used to cry
  You said I  love you like the stars  above, gonna love  you till I die
  There's a place  for us,  I know you know this song
 Now when you gonna realize  that it was just  that the time was wrong?
  Julie,  I'm so  in love,  so in love
 Yeah
 
  But I can't do the talk, like they talk on my TV screen, and
 I can't do a love  song,  not the way you sung  them to me
 I can't do anything,  but I would do  anything for you,  oh now
 I can't do anything  except be in  love with you, yeah  now
 All I do is miss  you  and the way you used  to be, you know
  And all I do is keep the beat, I keep bad, bad company
 And all I do is kiss  you  through the bars of this  rhyme, well
  Julie,  I'd do the stars  with you anytime
  Oh, Juliet,  when we made love  you used to cry;  you said I
  Love  you like the stars  above, I'm gonna love  you till I die.  There's a
  Place  for us,  I know you  know the movie  song
  One day we're gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong
 Julie,  Julie
 Julie
  Well this lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
 
  He's laying everybody low, he's got a love song that he made
  He finds a convenient streetlight, and he'll, he'll step out of the shade
  And he'll say something like,  you and me, babe, how about it?

 It'll make sense once you try it. The middle and ring fingers change
 the C chord, and the index finger and pinky mess with the Am.
