Em 
 
G 
D 
You’re on the phone with your girlfriendshes upset
A 
Shes going off about something that you said
Em 
’Cuz she doesn’t, get your humor
G 
Like I do
D 
I’m in the room, it’s a typical Tuesday night
A 
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like
Em 
and she’ll never know your story
G 
Like I do
 
Em 
But she wears short skirts
G 
I wear T-shirts
D 
She’s cheer captain
A 
And I’m on the bleachers
Em 
Dreaming about the day
G 
when you wake up and find that what you’re
A 
looking for has been here the whole time
 
D 
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
A 
been here all along so why can’t you
Em 
see, you belong with
G 
me, you belong with me
 
D 
Walkin’ the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
A 
I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be
Em 
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
G 
Hey isn’t this easy
 
D 
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
A 
I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
Em 
You say you’re fineI know you better then that
G 
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
 
Em 
She wears high heels
G 
I wear sneakers
D 
Shes cheer captain and
A 
I’m on the bleachers
Em 
Dreaming about the day
G 
when you wake up and find that what you’re
A 
looking for has been here the whole time
 
D 
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
A 
been here all along so why can’t you
Em 
see, you belong with
G 
me
D 
Standing by and waiting at your back door
A 
all this time how could you not know
Em 
Baby….
G 
You belong with meYou belong with me
 
G 
Oh
Em 
I remember you drivin’ to my house in the middle of the night
A 
I’m the one who makes you laughWhen you know you’re about to cry
Em 
And i know your favorite songsAnd you tell me about your dreams
G 
Think I know where you belongThink I know it’s with me…
 
D (gently)Can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you
A 
Been here all alongSo why can’t youEm (arpeggiated)see, you belong with
G 
me
D 
Standing by and waiting at your back door
A 
All this time how could you not know
Em 
Baby, you belong with
G 
me, you belong with me
 
You belong with  
A 
me, have you ever thought
Em 
Just 
 
maybe
G 
you belong with me
