Taylor Swift | You Belong With Me

This song won video of the year for the now famous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Kayne West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech.

This is a great easy song for beginners. It consists of all down strokes which can be difficult at first. However, this will become a lot easier with practice. If you have been taking my lessons for a while now this should be easier for you. Just take it slow.

Here Marty will teach you how to play this song the easy way with a capo on the 4th fret.

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