Intro: F7/C
 
F7/C
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time,
Am G F C/G
Better stop now, before I start crying.
F7/C
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
Am G F C/G
Don't want to see the day when it's dying.
D
She's a sight to see
F7/C
She's (a) good to me
Am G F C/G
But I'm already somebody's baby.
D
She's a pretty thing,
F7/C
She knows everything
Am G F C/G
But I'm already somebody's baby.
F7/C
You don't deserve to be lonely,
Am G F C/G
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better.
F7/C
Pretty soon you'll find its the only
Am G F C/G
Little part of your life you're keeping together.
D
I'm nice to you,
F7/C
I could make it through
Am G F C/G
But you're already somebody's baby.
D
I could make you smile,
F7/C
If you stayed a while
Am G F C/G
But how long will you stay with me, baby?

Because your candle burns too bright

Well I almost forgot it was twilight.

Even if I think that you are right

I got no fight.

You're wonderful
F7/C
When its beautiful
Am G F
But I'm already somebody's baby.
D
If I went with you,
F
I'd dissapoint you too

But I'm already somebody's baby.
Am G D
Already somebody's baby.
