D                                                 A 
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 
[Pre-Chorus]
    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 
[Chorus]
             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
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
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 than that 
G 
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                    G 
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers  
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 
[Chorus]
             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                    D 
You belong with me, you belong with me 
[Bridge]
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 'bout 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                                     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                   D 
You belong with me, you belong with me 
[Outro]
                A 
You belong with me  
                              Em 
Have you ever thought just maybe 
                G                   D 
You belong with me, you belong with me
