Love Story Lyrics by Taylor Swift (with Guitar Chords)

Intro
C  G  Am  F
 
Verse 1
C
We were both young when I first saw you
  F
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
             Am
I'm standing there
                F
On a balcony in summer air

C
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
F
See you make your way through the crowd
            Am
And say, "Hello"
           G
Little did I know

 
Pre-Chorus
     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
G                         Am  
Begging you "please don't go"   
F      G
  And I said

 
Chorus
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"

 
Verse 2
   C
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
F
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
              Am
So close your eyes
                       G
Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh

 
Pre-Chorus
       F                       G
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
       Am                        C
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
             F
But you were everything to me
      G                        Am  F      G
I was begging you please don't go,   and I said

 
Chorus
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
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

C
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
G
This love is difficult, but it's real
Am
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
F                  G
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

 
| C   | C   | G   | G   |
          Oh-ohh
| Am  | Am  | F   | G

 
Bridgeh
                   Am       
But I got tired of waiting
F              C                          G
  Wonderin' if you were ever coming around
                   Am     F
My faith in you was fading
       C                           G
When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said

 
Chorus
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."

 
Outro
     A       Bm
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
     A       Bm
Ooh, oh, oh, oh
       G                                    D
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
