Verse 1
C 
I drive home the same way
Fadd9 
Two left turns off the interstate
C 
And she's always standing
Fadd9 
At the stoplight on 18th     Street
C 
She could be a Sarah
She could be an Emily
Fadd9 
An Olivia,   maybe Cassidy
C 
With the shaky hands
On the cardboard sign
Fadd9 
And she's lookin'  at me

Pre-chorus 1

Bet she was somebody's

Fadd9

best friend laughing

Fadd9

Back when she was somebody's sister

Countin' change at the lemonade stand

Fadd9

Probably somebody's high school first kiss

Dancin' in a gym where the kids

Fadd9

all talk about someday plans

Chorus 1
Am7 
Now this light'll turn green
Fadd9 
and I'll hand her a couple dollars
Am7 
And I'll wonder if she got lost
Fadd9 
or they forgot her
C 
She's somebody's daughter
F 
Somebody's daughter
C 
F 
Somebody's daughter

Verse 2
C 
Did she give up wondering
Fadd9 
where the cars all go?
And can she even tell
C 
that I don't know what to say?
Fadd9 
So I just nod my head     and wave
C 
Well, no one's gonna ask
what she wants to be
Fadd9 
Or why we're both stuck here
C 
at the mercy of geography
Fadd9 
And whether it shines   or rains
