Romeo Describes
© 2001 Bryan Masters
Em
Don't you hate to see him with that Capulet girl
A B
she's got a destiny thing, you can see it in her eyes
Em
she don't deserve a guy like Romeo
A B
looks like he's gone for her lies
C#m
I knew her when she was a neighborhood punk
A B
before she sunk her claws into that Montague guy
E F#m
The Juliet I know is nothing like the girl
A B E A B E
that Romeo describes
I never knew that he could get like this
he says he'd die for her, you know I think that he would
I bet you'll find him at the Capulet ball
I bet she's up to no good
There's no explaining to a Montague
when he's young and in love and feeling unwise
The Juliet I know is nothing like the girl
that Romeo describes
F#m
Mr. Shakespeare, can't you see
A B
that what Romeo says and what Juliet does
F#m
just sounds like two very different stories to me
A B
write what you like, I'm just telling you
E A B
how she really was
It's down to war now with the families
he says the time has come, they're going over the wall tonight
which leaves me wondering 'bout a memory (of Juliet)
I wonder if she was right
she told me once over a jug of wine
about a love we would remember til the end of time
how a beautiful maid would turn a young fool's head
and their beautiful love would leave them stone cold dead
I guess I've known her long enough to know
she's not the kind of girl I'd trust with my life
The Juliet I know is nothing like the girl
that Romeo describes
