Intro: G  
  
Verse 1: 
 G                                                 D  
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset 
                                         Am  
She's going off about something that you said  
                                       C  
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do 
 G                                       D  
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night  
                                                Am  
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like  
                                      C  
And she'll never know your story like I do  
   
Pre-Chorus:
    Am                      C  
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts  
 G                       D  
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers  
 Am                              C  
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find 
                D  
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time  
  
Chorus:
             G  
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you  
 D                                     Am  
Been here all along, so why can't you see? 
                C                   G  
You belong with me, you belong with me 
 
Verse 2: 
 G                                               D  
Walkin' the streets with you and your worn out jeans  
                                              Am  
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be  
                                        C  
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself  
Hey isn't this easy  
 
    G                                                 D  
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town 
                                                   Am  
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down  
You say you're fine, I know you better then that  
 C  
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that  
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 Am                    C  
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers  
 G                      D  
Shes cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers  
 Am                     C  
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find 
                D  
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time  
 
Chorus: 
             G  
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you  
 D                                     Am  
Been here all along, so why can't you see? 
                C  
You belong with me 
 G  
Standing by and waiting at your back door  
 D                                        Am  
All this time how could you not know, baby  
                C  
You belong with me, you belong with me  

G  D  Am  C  
 
Bridge: 
                  Am  
Oh I remember you drivin' to my house 
       C  
In the middle of the night  
        G  
I'm the one who makes you laugh  
         D  
When you know you're about to cry  
      Am  
And I know your favorite songs  
        C  
And you tell me about your dreams  
        G  
Think I know where you belong  
        D  
Think I know it's with me 
 
Chorus: 
          G  
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you  
 D                                     Am  
Been here all along, so why can't you see? 
                C  
You belong with me 
 G  
Standing by and waiting at your back door  
 D                                        Am  
All this time how could you not know, baby  
 
Outro: 
                C                   G  
You belong with me, you belong with me  
                D  
You belong with me  
                              Am  
Have you ever thought just maybe 
                C                   G  
You belong with me, you belong with me
