You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
                                         Em
She's going off about something that you said
                                       G
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
D                                       A
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night
                                                Em
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
                                      G
And she'll never know your story like I do

    Em                      G
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
D                       A
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Em                              G
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
                A
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time


             D
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
A                                     Em
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
                G                   D
You belong with me, you belong with me


D                                               A
Walkin' the streets with you and your worn out jeans
                                              Em
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
                                        G
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy


    D                                                 A
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
                                                   Em
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better then that
G
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that


Em                    G
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
D                      A
Shes cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Em                     G
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
                A
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time


             D
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
A                                     Em
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
                G
You belong with me
D
Standing by and waiting at your back door
A                                        Em
All this time how could you not know, baby
                G
You belong with me, you belong with me

D A Em G

                  Em
Oh I remember you drivin' to my house
       G
In the middle of the night
        D
I'm the one who makes you laugh
         A
When you know you're about to cry
      Em
And I know your favorite songs
        G
And you tell me about your dreams
        D
Think I know where you belong
        A
Think I know it's with me


          D
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
A                                     Em
Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me, you belong with me
                A
You belong with me
                              Em
Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me, you belong with me
