Romeo And Juliet - Dire Straits

FA lovestruck Romeo Dm sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low Dmwith a love song that he made

Finds...a street light, Csteps out of the shade

Says something like, B"You and me babe, how about it?"

FJuliet says "Hey, it's Romeo!, Dmyou nearly gimme a heart attack"

He's underneath the window, she's singing "Hey la, my boyfriend's back

CYou shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that,

Anyway, what you gonna do about it...?"

FCome up on different streets, Dm they both were streets of shame

Both dirty, both mean, Dmyes, and the dream was just the same

CAnd I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real

BHow can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

Well, you can fall for chains of silver, Dmyou can fall for chains of gold

You can fall for pretty strangers Dmand the promises they hold

CYou promised me everything, Cyou promised me thick and thin, yeah

BNow you just say, "Oh Romeo? yeah, you know I used to have

a scene with him"

FI can't do the talks, Dmlike they talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song Dmlike the way it's meant to be

CI can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you

BI can't do anything 'cept be in love with you

FAnd all I do is miss you, Dmand the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat, Dmand bad company

CAll I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme

BJuliet, I'd do the stars...with you Canytime

B.. C...... "You and me babe, how about it?"----FADE OUT
