Verse1
G G2 D* G C*
We lost ourselves that afternoon.
G G2 D* G
You Juliet and me Romeo.
C G
In the shade from the sun,
C G
Where that old apple tree hung,

Irresponsibly young,
D G
We let go.
Verse2 (All verses the same)
We talked about our families.
Shared dreams and insecurities.
Then from under our shells,
In a passionate swell,
Both our barriers fell,
And we let go.
Chorus:
C D G
Into the black of the evening,
C D Am
Under the spread of the stars,
C G
I was falling for you,
C G
Like the sun did the moon.
C G D G
I remember that day in Verona.
Verse 3
We watched the world from our air balloon.
We'd sailed so high, so young, so soon.
Holding onto the mast,
Gaining altitude fast,
Watching dreams that we'd cast all come true.
Into the black of the evening,
Under the spread of the stars,
I was falling for you,
Like the sun did the moon.
I remember that day in Verona.
Oh so here I sit, and I reminisce,
Of that afternoon when our lips first kissed.
Drinking Italian wine,
In that sweet hot summertime,
When you said you'd be mine forever.
Into the black of the evening,
Both under the spread of the stars,
I was falling for you,
Like the sun did the moon.
I remember that day in Verona.
In Verona.
Verona.
My Verona.
