You Belong with Me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend.

She's upset.

She's goin' off about somethin' that you said,

'cause she doesn't get your humor like (C)I do.

(G)I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night.

I'm list'nin' to the kind of music she doesn't like.

And she'll never know your story like (C)I do.

But (Am7)she wears short skirts, (C)I wear Tshirts.

(G)She's cheer captain and (D)I'm on the bleachers,

(Am7)dreamin' 'bout the day when you (C)wake up and find that what you're (D)lookin' for has been here the whole time.

If you could (G)see that I'm the one who understands you.

(D)Been here all along.

So why can't you (Am7)see

you belong with (C)me?

You belong with me.

Walkin' the streets with you in your worn out jeans,

I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be.

Laughin' on a park bench, thinkin' to myself,

"Hey, isn't this easy?"

And (G)you've got a smile that could light up this whole town.

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down.

You say you're fine.

I know you better than that.

(C)Hey, what you doin' with a girl like that?

me?

(G)Standin' by and waitin' at your back door.

(D)All this time how could you not know,

(Am7)baby, you belong with (C)me?

You belong with me.

(C)Oh, I remember you (Am7)drivin' to my house in the (C)middle of the night.

I'm the (G)one who makes you laugh when you (D)know you're 'bout to cry.

I (Am7)know your fav'rite songs and you (C)tell me 'bout your dreams.

Think I (G)know where you belong.

Think I (D)know it's with me.

Can't you (G)see that I'm the one who understands you?

(D)Been here all along.

So why can't you (Am7)see

you belong with (C)me?

(G)Standin' by here, waitin' at your back door.

(D)All this time how could you not know,
