    A lovestruck Romeo, sing the streets of serenade.

    Find a street light, steps out into the shade,

    You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that.

    Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

    Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start.
          C  G            Am    G       F
    And I bet, and you exploded into my heart.
    G        C         Am             F
    And I forget, I forget, the movie song.

    Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame.
    C                G     Am                    G        F
    Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same.
    G                               F     G                 C
    And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real.
    F                                  G

    C                                G Am          G         F
    You can fall for pretty strangers, and the promises they hold.
    G                         F G               C
    You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah.
    F                                           G

               C                 G                 Am       G      F
    You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die.

    C                         G Am                G        F
    And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
    G                    F          G               C

    I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you.

    All I do is keep the beat, the bad company.
    G                       F G                   C
    And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of Orion.
