[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
 CI drive home the same way
FTwo left turns off the interstate
And she's Calways standing at the stoplight
On F18th street
She could be a CSarah, she could be an Emily
An FOlivia, maybe a Cassidy
With the Cshaky hands on the cardboard sign
And she's Flooking at me
[Chorus]
 CBet she was somebody's Fbest friend laughing
CBack when she was somebody's Fsister
Counting change at the lemonade Cstand
Probably somebody's Fhigh school first kiss
DCancing in a gym where the kids all talk about Fsomeday plans
Now this Amlight'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple dFollars
And I'll Amwonder if she got lost or they forFgot her
She's somebody's dCaughter
Somebody's dFaughter
Somebody's dCaughterF  
[Verse 2]
Well, did she Cgive up wondering where the cars all gFo?
Can she even tell that I don't Cknow what to say?
So I just nod my Fhead and wave
Well, Cno one's gonna ask what she wants to be
Or Fwhy we're both stuck here at the mercy oCf geography
And whether it Fshines or rains
[Chorus]
 CBet she was somebody's Fbest friend laughing
CBack when she was somebody's Fsister
Counting change at the lemonade Cstand
Probably somebody's Fhigh school first kiss
DCancing in a gym where the kids all talk about Fsomeday plans
Now this Amlight'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple dFollars
And I'll Amwonder how she felt when no one cFaught her
She's somebody's dCaughter
Somebody's dFaughter
Somebody's dCaughter
Somebody's dFaughter
[Bridge]
Oh, CI don't know the reasons why
IF'm the one who's driving by
And Cshe's the one on the corner of F18th Street
[Chorus]
 CBet she was somebody's Fbest friend
CBack when she was somebody's sFister
 CBet she was somebody's Ffirst kiss
CDancing in a gym where the kids all talk about Fsomeday, someday
Now this Amlight'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple Fdollars
Oh, and I'll Amwonder if she got lost or they forFgot her
She's somebody's Cda-F--ugChteFr
She's somebody's CdaughterF

[Intro]

C F

[Verse 1]

I drive home the same way

Two left turns off the interstate

And she's always standing at the stoplight

On 18th street

She could be a Sarah, she could be an Emily

An Olivia, maybe a Cassidy

With the shaky hands on the cardboard sign

And she's looking at me

[Chorus]

C F

Bet she was somebody's best friend laughing

C F

Back when she was somebody's sister

Counting change at the lemonade stand

Probably somebody's high school first kiss

C F

Dancing in a gym where the kids all talk about someday plans

Am F

Now this light'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple dollars

Am F

And I'll wonder if she got lost or they forgot her

She's somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter

C F

Somebody's daughter

[Verse 2]

C F

Well, did she give up wondering where the cars all go?

Can she even tell that I don't know what to say?

So I just nod my head and wave

Well, no one's gonna ask what she wants to be

F C

Or why we're both stuck here at the mercy of geography

And whether it shines or rains

[Chorus]

C F

Bet she was somebody's best friend laughing

C F

Back when she was somebody's sister

Counting change at the lemonade stand

Probably somebody's high school first kiss

C F

Dancing in a gym where the kids all talk about someday plans

Am F

Now this light'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple dollars

Am F

And I'll wonder how she felt when no one caught her

She's somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter

[Bridge]

Oh, I don't know the reasons why

I'm the one who's driving by

C F

And she's the one on the corner of 18th Street

[Chorus]

C F

Bet she was somebody's best friend

C F

Back when she was somebody's sister

C F

Bet she was somebody's first kiss

C F

Dancing in a gym where the kids all talk about someday, someday

Am F

Now this light'll turn green and I'll hand her a couple dollars

Am F

Oh, and I'll wonder if she got lost or they forgot her

She's somebody's da---ughter

C F

She's somebody's daughter
