Verse
C#
We were both young when I first saw you

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd
A#m
And say hello
G#
Little did I know
F# G#
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
A#m C#
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

Begging you, please, don't go
[Verse 2]
C#
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
G# D#m
Been here all along so why can't you see

You belong with me
C#
Standing by and waiting at your back door
G#
All this time
How could you not know

Baby you belong with me
C#
You belong with me
