Key: F
Introduction:
G
We were both young when I first saw you
C9
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Em7 C9
I'm standing there in the balcony in summer air
*strums or palm mute *
G
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
C9
See you make your way through the crowd
Em7
And say, "Hello"
D
Little did I know...
*picking or strums
C9 D4
That I was Romeo, I was throwing pebbles
Em7 D4
And your daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
C9
I was crying on the staircase
D4 Em7
Begging you, please don't go
D
'Cause you belong with me
G
If you could see
That I'm the one who understands you
D
Been here all along
Am
So why can't you see
C
You belong with me
G
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
D
All this time how could you not know
Am C-ºnce
Baby, you belong with me
G-ºnce
You belong with me
( * -once)
Dare
I haven't seen them in a while
G Em7
You've been good, busier than ever
C9
Small talk, work and the weather
G D Em7
Your guard is up and I know why
D
Because the last time you saw me
G C9
Is still burned in the back of your mind
Em7 D C9
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
G
So this is me swallowing my pride
Bm C
Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night"
G D
I go back to December all the time
G
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Bm C
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
G-ºnce D-ºnce A-palm
I go back to December all the time
E D
Someday, I?ll be living in a big old city
A E D
And all you?re ever gonna be is mean
A E D
Oh, someday, I?ll be big enough so you can?t hit me
A E D
And all you?re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so (mean)
A E
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
F#m D
People throw rocks at things that shine
A E D
And life makes love look hard
Why you gotta be so mean
A E F#m D
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is
A E F#m D
We are never ever ever getting back together
(This love is ours)
A E F#m D
We are never ever ever getting back together
(This love is ours)
F#m D E
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
(We are never getting back together)
A E F#m
Shame on me now
D E
Flew me to places I'd never been
(We are never getting back together)
A E F#m
'Till you put me down
D E
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
(We are never getting back together)
A E F#m
Shame on me now
D E-ºnce
Flew me to places I'd never been
(No chords)
D A E
Forgetting her is like trying to know somebody you never met
D F#m E
Loving her was re ee ed, so red, re ee ed
D F#m E
Loving her was re ee ed, so red, re ee ed
D F#m E
Loving her was re ee ed, so red, re ee ed
D F#m E-ºnce
Loving her was re ee ed, so red
