F#  B  F#  B

F#
You're on the phone with your girlfriend,
         C#
She's upset
                                         G#m
She's going off about something that you said
                                       B
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

F#
I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night
C#                                             G#m
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
                                      B
And she'll never know your story like I do

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

Chorus:
             F#
If you could see that I'm the one
Who understands you
C#                                     G#m
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
                 B                   F#
You belong with me, you belong with me

F#                                              C#
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
                                              G#m
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
                                         B
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

     F#
And you've got a smile
                               C#
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while
                      G#m
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
B
Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

G#m                   B
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
 F#                     C#
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
G#m                              B
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
                C#
That what you're looking for has been here
the whole time

Chorus:
             F#
If you could see that I'm the one
Who understands you
C#                                     G#m
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
                 B
You belong with me
  F#
Standing by and waiting at your back door
C#                                     G#m
All this time how could you not know, baby?
                 B                   F#
You belong with me, you belong with me

F# C# G#m B

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

Chorus:
           F#
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
C#                                     G#m
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
                 B
You belong with me
  F#
Standing by and waiting at your back door
C#                                        G#m
All this time how could you not know, baby?
                 B                   F#
You belong with me, you belong with me
                C#
You belong with me
                              G#m
Have you ever thought just maybe
                 B                   F#
You belong with me, you belong with me
