You Belong With Me

[Intro]

[D] [A] [Em] [G]

[Verse 1]

[D]
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset  
[A]
She's going off about something that you said  
[Em]
'Cause she doesn't get your humor  
[G]
Like I do  

[D]
I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night  
[A]
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like  
[Em]
and she'll never know your story  
[G]
Like I do  

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental]

[D] [Dsus2] [D]  
[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]  
[D] [Dsus2] [D]  
[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]  
[Em]  
[G]  

[Bridge]

[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...  

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

[A]
You belong with me, have you ever thought  
[Em]
Just maybe  
[G]
you belong with me  
[D]
You belong with me
