You Belong With Me

Capo IV

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

Emi

She's going off about something that you said

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night

Emi

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like

And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me, you belong with me

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn out jeans

Emi

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

Hey isn't this easy

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town

Emi

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down

You say you're fine, I know you better then that

Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

Shes cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know, baby

You belong with me, you belong with me

Emi

Oh I remember you drivin' to my house

In the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're about to cry

Emi

And I know your favorite songs

And you tell me about your dreams

Think I know where you belong

Think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know, baby

You belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me

Emi

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me, you belong with me
