Somebody's Kid

[Verse 1]
G             D
18 with a machine in his hand,
      Em                      C
With acne on his chin, and a boot in the sand, He's
G             D                 C
18 but he's double the man his daddy thought he was
           G                     D
From his twin sized bed with a ceiling fan,
      Em             C
To a bunk bed in Afghanistan, He's
G            D               C
18 but he's still a man for us,
                  Em D            C
Cause there's no time for growing up
 
[Chorus]
           G           D
When he's, out on the field
            Em        C
He's got, a body of steal
         G                       D                   C
And his mama called twice even though he's off the grid
           G           D
He's a, a fighting machine
        Em       C
And a, mighty marine
        G              D                    C
But he calls his mama back every chance he gets,
            Em          D
Cause even superman is still,
            C                G D Em C
Somebody's kid (somebody's kid)
 
[Verse 2]
         G                         D
He's on watch all night but he's dreaming 'bout
           Em                         C
What his friends are doin' when he's not around
      G                  D                C
He's so far out but his mind is half way home
       G                D              Em               C
He's counting down the MRE's till he gets to grandma's mac 'n cheese
      G                D                     C
He's hoping that his flight won't take too long
         Em  D             C
Cause tonight he's comin' home
 
[Chorus]
           G           D
When he's, out on the field
            Em        C
He's got, a body of steal
         G                       D                   C
And his mama called twice even though he's off the grid
           G           D
He's a, a fighting machine
        Em       C
And a, mighty marine
        G              D                    C
But he calls his mama back every chance he gets,
            Em          D
Cause even superman is still,
            C                G D Em C
Somebody's kid (somebody's kid)
 
[Bridge]
C           G                 Em             D
He's been thinking 'bout the fireworks and summer nights
C       G                    Em                D
Never thought he'd miss his sister and their stupid fights
C      G            Em                 D
Never told her how alone he was every time he'd write
              Em       D          C
Cause it's so hard for her to realise
 
[Chorus]
           G           D
That he's out on the field
         Em       C
With a, body of steal,
         G                       D                    C
And his mama called twice even though he's off the grid
           G           D
He's a, a fighting machine
        Em       C
And a, mighty marine
        G               D                   C
But he calls his mama back every chance he gets
             Em          D                C
Cause even superman is still, somebody's kid
        Em          D               C
Even superman is still, somebody's kid.
