Verse 1:
C majorC
I drive home the same way
FF
Two left turns off the interstate
C majorC
And she's always standing at the stoplight
FF
On 18th street
C majorC
She could be a Sarah, she could be an Emily
FF
An Olivia, maybe a Cassidy
C majorC
With the shaky hands on the cardboard sign
FF
And she's looking at me
Chorus:
C majorC FF
Bet she was somebody's best friend laughing
C majorC FF
Back when she was somebody's sister
C majorC
Counting change at the lemonade stand
FF
Probably somebody's high school first kiss
C majorC FF
Dancing in a gym where the kids all talk about someday plans
A minorAm FF
Now this light'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple dollars
A minorAm FF
And I'll wonder if she got lost or they forgot her
C majorC
She's somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter
C majorC FF
Somebody's daughter
Verse 2:
C majorC FF
Well, did she give up wondering where the cars all go?
C majorC
Can she even tell that I don't know what to say?
FF
So I just nod my head and wave
C majorC
Well, no one's gonna ask what she wants to be
FF C majorC
Or why we're both stuck here at the mercy of geography
FF
And whether it shines or rains
