I don't really dance much, this time I did,
I was glad that I did...this time

|E-----------------------------|

     Where I belong, where I belong

Verse:

I wasn't dressed right, I rarely am
You told me that you didn't care

I laughed as you wobbled in your platform shoes,
You laughed when I called the ending true, I need an award (?)

Chorus:

And the song said, "Let's be happy", and I was happy,
It never made me happy before

And the song said, "Don't be lonely", it makes me lonely,
I hear it and I'm lonely more and more

Where I belong,
Where I belong (don't play any notes at this part this time around)

Here is the little solo played at this point:

|e-------------------------------------------|
|B---5/10---10\3/5---5-5/7\3---5-5/7\3-------|
|G-------------------------------------7\2---|
|D-------------------------------------------|
