1. [G] You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's [D] upset
She's going off about something that you [Am] said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like [C] I do
[G] I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday [D] night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't [Am] like
And she'll never know your story like [C] I do

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

Chorus:
If you could [G] see that I'm the one who understands you
[D] Been here all along, so why can't you [Am] see?
You belong with [C] me, you belong with [G] me

2. [G] Walkin' the streets with you and your worn out [D] jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to [Am] be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to [C] myself
Hey isn't this easy
And [G] you've got a smile that could light up this whole [D] town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you [Am] down
You say you're fine, I know you better then that
[C] Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that

Pre-Chorus:
[Am] She wears high heels, [C] I wear sneakers
[G] Shes cheer captain and [D] I'm on the bleachers
[Am] Dreaming about the day [C] when you wake up and find
That what you're [D] looking for has been here the whole time

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

Interlude: [G] [D] [Am] [C]

Bridge:
Oh I remember you [Am] 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 about to cry
And I [Am] know your favorite songs
And you [C] tell me about 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 [Am] see?
You belong with [C] me
[G] Standing by and waiting at your back door
[D] All this time how could you not know, [Am] baby
You belong with [C] me, you belong with [G] me
You belong with [D] me
Have you ever thought just [Am] maybe
You belong with [C] me, you belong with [G] me
