[Verse 1]

You're on the 

phone with you

r
              
girlfriend, sh

     
e's upset

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

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

              
er know your s

         
tory like I do


[Pre-Chorus]
             
But she wears 

              
short skirts, 


I wear T-shirt

s
            
She's Cheer Ca

          
ptain and I'm 

on the bleache

rs

Dreaming about

 the day when 

you wake up an

d find
              
That what you'

   
re looking for

 has been here

 the whole tim

e


[Chorus]
             
If you could s

ee that I'm th

e one who unde

rstands you

Been here all 

along, so why 

can't you

see?
              
You belong wit

           
h me, you belo

       
ng with me


[Verse 2]

Walking the st

reets with you

 and your
         
worn-out jeans

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

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to
  
myself
              
Hey, isn't thi

  
s easy?

And you've got

 a smile that 

could light
              
up this whole 


town

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

wn

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

Hey, whatcha d

oing with a gi

rl like that?


[Pre-Chorus]
            
She wears high

       
 heels, I wear

 sneakers
            
She's Cheer Ca

          
ptain and I'm 

on the bleache

rs

Dreaming about

 the day when 

you wake up an

d find
              
That what you'

 time


[Chorus]
             
If you could s

ee that I'm th

rstands you

Been here all 

along, so why 

can't you

You belong wit

All this time

[Bridge]
              
Oh, I remember

In the middle 

of the night
