D      
We were both young when I first saw you 
  G 
I close my eyes and the flashback starts 
              Bm                   G 
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air 

D 
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns 
G 
See you make your way through the crowd 
        Bm 
And say hello 
           A 
Little did I know 

     G                        A 
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles 
        Bm                         D 
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" 
          G 
And I was crying on the staircase 
A                          Bm 
Begging you, please, don't go

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 
All this time 

How could you not know 
Em                   G 
Baby you belong with me 
                D 
You belong with me

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day, 
    D                        Em              G                A 
Had gone all wrong, had been trampled on and lost and thrown away, 
D                  Em             G            A 
Got to the hallway well on my way to my lovin' bed, 
  D                    Em 
I almost didn't notice all the roses, 
G                A 
And the note that said, 

Verse: 4 
E       B       C#m              A 
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city 
    E          B                   A 
And all you're ever going to be is mean 
E       B       C#m              A 
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me     
    E          B                   A 
And all you're ever going to be is mean 
                    E 
Why you gotta be so mean?

    D       A  Bm 
So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been 
         D       A 
Till you put me down oh

Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble 
Bm  G  A         D        A

Missing him was dark grey all alone 
                    G                        Bm           A 
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light 
           D                          A                    Bm     G 
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all too well, yeah. 

         D                        A 
Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise.

So casually cruel in the name of being honest 
       D                  A                    Bm   G 
It was rare,I was there I remember it all to well
