version 6
Tuning: Standard
-------------------------------------Notes---------------------------------------
Most of this tab came from Alex <3 Declan. I changed part of it to match the way I
it from Fox-x-x's video. Both ways sound good, I
think the way I learned it is closer to the way it is played on the record. I also
the a tab for the solo in this. I couldn't find
it any where so I tabbed it out my self. I know it's far from perfect but it isn't even
by guitar on the record so I think it's good
enough. I also corrected Alex <3 Declan's chord chart. His chart is in the key of C and
tab is in D. I changed it so they are both in
D.

The pattern I use here is a different. Let the x's represent what ever the notes in the
are. For the D chord, you won't use the 5th
and 6th stings so you would play the muted ones on the 4th string. This is just a
guide. I don't play this part exactly.

Bm.

Bm G D A
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
Bm G
My faith in you was fading
D A
Then I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
-------------------------------Note--------------------------------
My favorite part of the song here. Be sure to really build this. I use power chords and
really mute them starting off then let the mute
out and get stronger until I'm playing full force at the key change
--------------------------------------------------------------------
D
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G A
He nelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
----------------------------Note----------------------------------
Key Change: Chords here are a lot of fun to play. Basically power chords on the A string
you let all the other strings ring.

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback start
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights see the party the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my Daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romen, I was a scarlet letter
And my Daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me they're trying to tell me
How to feel
This love is difficult but it's real
Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me Juliet never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your Dady go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
'Cause we were both young
When I first saw you.
