        C                G Am             G           F

        Finds a street light steps out into the shade
                F                           G

        G                           F  G                        C

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

        Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame

        C                        G Am                        G F

        C            G                Am G                        F

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

                      F                        G
        I cant't do anything but be in love with you.

        C                G Am                        G C
        And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
        C                G Am                G F
        All I do is keep the beat and bad company.
        G                F G                        C
        All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
                        F                G
        Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime.
