SOMEBODY'S BABY
As recorded by Jon Foreman
(From the 2008 Album FALL AND WINTER)
 
[Intro]
Cmaj7
 
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
She yells, "If you were homeless, sure as hell you'd be drunk
Am G Am
Or high or trying to get there or begging for junk
Gmaj7
When the people don't want you
Cmaj7
They just throw you money for beer"
Cmaj7
Her name was November
Cmaj7
She went by Autumn or Fall
Am
It was 7 long years since the Autumn when
Cmaj7
All of her nightmares grew fingers and
Cmaj7
All of her dreams grew a tear
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
She's somebody's baby
Am7
Somebody's baby girl
Fmaj7
She's somebody's baby
Am7
Somebody's baby girl
G Cmaj7
And she's somebody's baby still
 
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
She screams, "Well, if you've never gone it alone
Am
Well, then go ahead, you better throw the first stone
G
You got one lonely stoner
Cmaj7
Waiting to bring to her knees"
Cmaj7
She dreams about heaven, remembering hell
Am7 G
As a nightmare she visits and knows all too well
Cmaj7
Every now and again, when she's sober, she brushes her teeth
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
She's somebody's baby
Am7
Somebody's baby girl
Fmaj7
She's somebody's baby
Am7
Somebody's baby girl
G Cmaj7
And she's somebody's baby still
 
[Interlude]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Am7 Fmaj7
Am G Cmaj7
 
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
Today was her birthday, strangely enough
Am
When the cops found her body at the foot of a bluff
G Cmaj7
The anonymous caller this morning tipped off the police
Cmaj7
They got her ID from her dental remains
Am
The same fillings intact, the same nicotine stains
G
The birth and the death were both over
C
With no one to grieve
 
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
She's somebody's baby
Am7
Somebody's baby girl
Fmaj7
She's somebody's baby
Am7
Somebody's baby girl
G Cmaj7
And she's somebody's baby still
 
[Outro]
Cmaj7 Am7
G Cmaj7
She's somebody's baby still
Am7 G C Am7 G C
Am7 G C
