1. A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade,

laying everybody low with a love song that he made.

says something like : You and me babe, how about it?
C G-a G-C
Juliet says : Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack !
G a F
He's underneath the window, she's singing : Hey la, my boyfriends back,
F-G F G C

2. Come up on different streets, they`re both the streets of shame,
G - a 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-a G -C
Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold.
G-a F
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promise that they hold
F-G F-G C
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin.
F G
Now you just say:Oh Romeo, you know I used to have a scene with him.
