Love Story by Taylor Swift – Lyrics with Chords

Capo 2
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                    F
You're standing there on a balcony of summer air.
 
C
See the lights, See the party, the ball gowns
F                                                 Am
Making my way, I'm moving through the crowd to say "ello.."
            G
Little did you know
 
     F                 G
That I was Romeo, as I was throwing pebbles
             Am                C
I heard your father said "Stay away from Juliet!"
              F
Had to leave you crying on the staircase 
 G                Am       C
Begging me "Please don't go!" So I said..
 
C
Juliet I'll take you somewhere we can be alone.
G
Just be patient.. nothing left to do but run.
Am
You'll be the princess, I'll be the prince.. oh!
F               G       C
It's a love story baby say Yes.
 
C
So you sneak out to the garden I'm hiding..
F
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they find me.
Am
So Close your eyes.
G
Lets escape from this town for a little while.
 
F            G
I was Romeo, you were my Juliet.
      Am                      C
Even my father said loving you is not worth it.
F
Had to leave you crying on the staircase.. 
 G           Am          C
Begging me Please don't go! So I said..
 
Chorus
 
C
Juliet I'll save you, they'll never come between us!
G
Just hold on and love is gonna free us!
Am
Don't be afraid, oh we'll make it through this!
F              G               C
It's a love story.. baby just say Yes.
 
                      Am     F
I'm sure she's tired of waiting.
C                     G
Swear I'm on my way, just had to work some things out!
Am                 F
I hope her faith's not fading..
                         C         G
That was when I met her on the outskirts of town and I said..
 
C
Juliet I apologize, didn't mean to scare you.
G
Need you more than anything.. I refuse to share you.
Am
Saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what to think..
 F                 G
I knelt to the ground and I 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 that I really know!
   Bm
I talked to our families, pick out a white dress..
  G              A         D
It's a love story baby just say Yes.
           G                  D
Cause we were both young when I first saw you.
