F#
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend,
         C#
She’s upset.
She’s going off
                          G#m
About something that you said
‘Cause she doesn’t get your humor
     H
Like I do.

F#
I’m in the room:
                        C#
It’s a typical Tuesday night.
I’m listening to the kind of music
             G#m
She doesn’t like,
And she’ll never know your story
     H
Like I do.

       G#m
   Hut she wears short skirts,
   H
   I wear T-shirts.
   F#
   She’s cheer captain
       C#
   And I’m on the bleachers
   G#m
   Dreaming ‘bout the day
               H
   When you’ll 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#
     Heen here all along.
                      G#m
     So why can’t you see
                     H
     You belong with me?
                      F#
     You belong with me.

F#
Walking the streets with you
                   C#
And your worn-out jeans,
I can’t help thinking
                         G#m
This is how it ought to be.
Laughing on a park bench,
               H
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,
                             H
I know you better than that.
Hey, what you doing
With a girl like that?

   G#m
   She wears high heels,
   H
   I wear sneakers.
   F#
   She’s cheer captain
       C#
   And I’m on the bleachers
   G#m
   Dreaming ‘bout the day
               H
   When you’ll 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#
     Heen here all along.
                      G#m
     So why can’t you see
                     H
     You belong with me?

     F#
     Standing by and waiting
     At your back door.
     C#
     All this time,
                               G#m
     How could you not know, baby,
                     H
     You belong with me,
                     F#
     You belong with me.

   H                  G#m
   Oh, I remember you driving to my house
          H
   In the middle of the night.
           F#
   I’m the one that makes you laugh
            C#
   When you know you’re ‘bout to cry.

     G#m
   I know your favorite songs
           H
   And you tell me ‘bout your dreams.
           F#
   Think I know where you belong.
           C#
   Think I know it’s with me.

Chorus:
               F#
