Lyrics

I say this was (D)no game of chick en; you were aim ing your best friend

that you wear like a switch blade on a chain a round your neck.

I think you picked this up in Mex i co from your dad.

Now it’s (D)Dad dy on the booze

and it’s Bran do on the ice.

Now it’s (D)Dean in the door way with one more way he can’t play this scene

twice.

So you (Bm)drug her down ev ’ry drag of this for bid den fit of love and you told her to stand tall when you kissed her.

But that’s (D)not where you were think ing.

How could a (D)Nat a lie Wood not get sucked in to a scene so cus tom (G)tucked?

But now, look who shows (G)up in the same place.

In this case, I (D)think it’s bet ter

to face it.

(D)We

be long to (D)geth er.

(D)We

be (G)long to (D)geth er.

(D)no game of chick en; you were aim ing your best friend

that you wear like a switch blade on a chain a round your neck.

I think you picked this up in Mex i co from your dad.

Now it’s (D)Dad dy on the booze

and it’s Bran do on the ice.

Now it’s (D)Dean in the door way with one more way he can’t play this scene

twice.

So you (Bm)drug her down ev ’ry drag of this for bid den fit of love and you told her to stand tall when you kissed her.

But that’s (D)not where you were think ing.

How could a (D)Nat a lie Wood not get sucked in to a scene so cus tom (G)tucked?

But now, look who shows (G)up in the same place.

In this case, I (D)think it’s bet ter

to face it.

(D)We

be long to (D)geth er.

(D)We

be (G)long to (D)geth er.

Ooh, and I can (D)hear him in ev ’ry foot step’s pass ing sigh.

He goes (G)cra zy these nights

watch ing heart beats go (D)by.

(D)We

be long to (D)geth er.

But (D)we

be (G)long to (D)geth er.

(D)We

be (G)long to (D)geth er.

(Em7)We

be long to (D)geth er.

This page shows “We Belong Together” by Rickie Lee Jones in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of D at 68 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
