Love Story by Taylor Swift

Intro: C  G  Am  F

C

We were both young when I first saw you

F

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

              Am                              G

I’m standing there on a balcony of summer air

C

See the lights, See the party the ball gowns

F

I see you make your way through the crowd

          Am

You say hello

               G

Little did I know

       F             G

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles

          Am                                      C

And my Daddy said stay away from Juliet

            F

And I was crying on the staircase

                        C

Begging you please don't go, and I said

C

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

G

I'll be waiting all there’s left to do is run

Am

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

F                        G                    C

It’s a love story baby just say yes

C

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

F

We keep quiet because we're dead if they know

               Am

So close your eyes

                             G

Let's keep this down for a little while

F                                       G

‘Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter

          Am                           C

and your Daddy said stay away from Juliet

                F

But you were everything to me

                                      Am

and I was begging you please don't go and I said

C

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

G

I'll be waiting all there’s left to do is run

Am

You’ll be the prince I'll be the princess

F                           G                 C

It’s a love story baby just say yes

C

Romeo save me, try to tell me how it is

G

This love is difficult, but it’s real,

Am

Save me from the breakdown, make it out of this mess

F                        G

It’s a love story baby just say yes, oh

Solo: C  G  Am  F

Am     F               C              G

I got tired of waiting,   wondering if you were ever coming around

Am                            F

My faith in you was fading

C           G

Then I met you on the outskirts of town and I said

C

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone

G

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Am

Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

F                       G

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

D

Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone

A

I love you and that’s all I really know

Bm

I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress

G                 A            D

It’s a love story baby just say yes

D   A   Bm

Oh, oh, yes

G                                                    D

We were very young when I first saw you
