And she's got everything that I have to live without

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
Chorus-
C G
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
C Am F G
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
C Am F
And there he goes so perfectly

The kind of flawless I wish I could be
Am F
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
C G
Look in those beautiful eyes, and know she lucky cause
Repeat Chorus
Am F
So I drive home alone, as I turn off the light
C G
I put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight
Alt. Chorus-
C G
Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Am F
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
C G Am F
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

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?

You belong with me

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

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

Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why
Bm G
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-e-e-e-ing

And I heard you moved on, from whispers on the street
A
A new notch in your belt, is all I'll ever be

[Verse 1]
A E B C#m
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
A E B C#m
Midnights become my afternoons
A E B
When my depression works the graveyard shift
C#m A E B C#m
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-chorus 1]
A E B
I should not be left to my own devices
C#m A
They come with prices and vices
E B C#m
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
Cause you got tired of my scheming
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B
I’ll stare directly at the sun
C#m
But never in the mirror
A E
It must be exhausting
B C#m
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Verse 2]
A E B C#m
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
A E B C#m
And I’m a monster on the hill
A E B C#m
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
A E B C#m
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-chorus 2]
A E B C#m A
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
E B C#m
Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
And life will lose all its meaning
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees

I’ll stare directly at the sun

But never in the mirror

It must be exhausting

Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Bridge]
A E B C#m
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
A E B C#m
She thinks I left them in the will
A E B C#m
The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out
A E B C#m
“She’s laughing up at us from hell!”
A E
It’s me, hi,
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
It’s me, hi, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
Everybody agrees…
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees

I’ll stare directly at the sun

But never in the mirror

It must be exhausting

Always rooting for the anti-hero.

And you still got it, in your drawer, even now
C G Am F

C G Am F
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red
Am F
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
C G
And your mothers telling stories 'bout you on a t-ball team
Am F
You tell me about your past thinkin' your future was me
C G
And I know it's long gone and it was nothing else I could do
Am G F G Am G
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed too

Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well

Verse 1: D
We were both young when I first saw you
G
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Bm G
Im standing there on a balcony of summer air
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
G
I see you make your way through the crowd
Bm
You say hello
A
Little did I know
[Pre-Chorus] 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 G A
Begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus] D
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G A D
Its a love story baby just say yes

My faith in you was fading
D A
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
[Chorus]
D
Romeo save me i've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
G A
The other on my heart
D Em
I look around, turn the radio down
G A
He says baby is something wrong?
D Em G A
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G A
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
D Em G
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
A D
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Em
Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date ‚man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have‚Äù
Em A Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
D G
Asking God if he could play it again
D Em G A
D Em G A
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day

Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
G A
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...
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,

When you're on the phone and you talk real slow

Waited for something to come along

That was as good as our song
D Em

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
G A
In the front seat of his car
D Em
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
G
And I... wrote down our song
[Verse 1-]
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn

All roads they lead me here.
I imagine you are home,
In your room, all alone,
