[Verse 1]
C F
That new tattoo still stung just a little, the old guy said "Well, what do you think?
C Am F G
Is this what you wanted, just the word 'freedom', sur rounded by eagles' wings"
C F
He said "It's none of my business, but who is this angel that you had me cover up?" F/EEEDC
Am G F G
I said, "Oh, that's just a name, it still makes me think of a girl I used to love"
[Chorus]
F C
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now
G C
I bet she's covered in diamonds, that car that she's driving cost more than most people's house
F C Am
She used to say how she wanted babies and I was too young to slow down
F G C C
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now C/G A G E D A
[Verse 2]
C F
We used to sit on the hood of my old blue Camaro and watch the sun come up
C Am F G
Stare out across that big sleepy desert, like the whole world revolved us
C F
And I hope she'd smile if she knew right now that I was talking like this
Am G F G
But she's out there somewhere, makin' somebody happy, wherever she is
[Chorus]
F C
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now
G C
I bet she's covered in diamonds, that car that she's driving cost more than most people's house
F C Am
She used to say how she wanted babies and I was too young to slow down
F G C C
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now C/D E G E C G
[Bridge]
Am F
I don't know where she is, I'm glad I don't know where she lives
D7 G
'Cause one day I just might show up at her door
[Chorus]
F C
But I figured she's probably somebody's mama by now
G C
I bet she's covered in diamonds, that car that she's driving cost more than most people's house
