Sarah Cothran - Love Story

(originally by Taylor Swift)

[Verse 1]
Dm
We were both young when I first saw you
Gm
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
Bb
I’m standing there
A
On a balcony in summer air
Dm
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
Gm
See you make your way through the crowd
Bb
And say, “Hello”
A
Little did I know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm A
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
Bb Dm
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
Gm
And I was crying on the staircase
A Bb Dm A
Begging you, “Please don’t go-o-o”, and I said

[Chorus 1]
Dm
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I’ll be waiting, all therе’s left to do is run
Bb
You’ll be the princе and I’ll be the princess
Gm A
It’s a love story, baby, just say..

[Verse 2]
Dm
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
Gm
We keep quiet, ’cause we’re dead if they knew
Bb
So close your eyes
A
Escape this town for a little while

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gm A
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Bb Dm
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
Gm
But you were everything to me
A Bbmaj7 Dm A
I was begging you, “Please don’t go-o-o”, and I said

[Chorus 2]
Dm
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
Bbmaj7 Bb
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
Gm A
It’s a love story baby just say “Yes”
Dm
Romeo, save me, they’re trying to tell me how to feel
A
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Bb
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
Gm A Dm
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”

[Bridge]
Bb Gm
I got tired of waiting
Dm A
Wondering if you were ever coming around
Bb Gm
My faith in you was fading
Dm A
When I met you on the outskirts of town
Dm
And I said, “Romeo, save me, I’ve been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bb
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think”
Gm A
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

[Outro]
Em
“Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
B
I love you, and that’s all I really know
C
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
Am B Em
It’s a love story, baby, just say “Yes”
