 * Hold D chord and do the hammer-on (D|--0h-4--) on the bottom D string with pinky
 * The little licks that appear at the end of the chorus's are made from bits of the intro
 * I lined the chords up with the words so it makes it hard to see the timing of it
    + Chords joined with one or more equals symbols (=) means it lasts for one whole
      beat, the second being played on the the first beat of the next bar
    + Chords joined with one minus symbol (-) means it lasts for half a beat, again the
      second chord is played on the the first beat of the next bar

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

Chorus I:
      D     A             Bm              G
      Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
            D   A          Bm           G
      And I bet, and you exploded in my heart
          A====D         G    Bm           G
      And I forget, I forget,    the movie song
    Em                              Bm                        G==A==D
      When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong,     Juliet?

Verse II:
      Come up on different streets, they're both the streets of shame
      Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same
      And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
      How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals

      Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
      You can fall for pretty strangers, and the promises they hold
      You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah
      Now you just say oh Romeo yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him

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

Verse III:
      I can't do the talk, like they talk on the TV
      I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
      I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you
      I can't do anything except be in love with you

      And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be
      All I do is keep the beat, n' bad company
      And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
      Juliet I'd do the stars with you, anytime

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

Verse IV:
      A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade
      Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
      Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
      And says something like, you and me babe, how about it?

Outro:
      G A
