[F]And I for[C]get, I for[Dm]get, the movie [Bb]song
[Gm]When you gonna [F]realize it was [Bb]just that the [C]time was [Dm]wrong, [C]Juliet? [F]

[F]Come up on different streets,[C][Dm]they both were streets of shame [C][F]
[F]Both dirty both mean,[C][Dm]yes and the dream was [C]just the [Bb]same
[C]And I dreamed your [Bb]dream for you and [C]now your dream is [F]real.
[Bb]How can you look at me as if I was [C]just another part of your deal?

[F]Well you can fall for chains of silver,[C][Dm] you can fall for chains of gold.[C][F]
[F]you can fall for pretty strangers[C][Dm] and the pro[C]mises they [Bb]hold
[C]You promised me [Bb]everything, you promised me [C]thick and [F]thin yeah
