[Verse 1]
CmEarly in the morning
CmRise to meet the sun
FmWork so hard to feed your wife
FmNo time to show her loving
And in the Cmmadness of the evening
With diCmamonds in your hand
Came hFmome an hour early
FmCaught her with another man
[Chorus]
CmIt's always something before the late night
FmAround the corner, there's always something waiting for you
CmCan't hold the hands back, can't make the sun rise
FmIt's always something, you know it's always something
[Interlude]
Cm Fm
[Verse 2]
CmOn your way back home again
CmA good samaritan
You sFmee a man stuck in the rain
FmStranded with no friends
And from the goCmodness of your heart
CmYou saved him from the flood
A coFmuple miles down the road
FmHe's covered in your blood
[Chorus]
CmIt's always something before the late night
FmAround the corner, there's always something waiting for you
CmCan't hold the hands back, can't make the sun rise
FmIt's always something, you know it's always something

[Bridge]
FMoving arEbound you neAbver see it coming
FBurned by the liEbght you thAbought that you were running
FBlinded agEbain, you're flAboating like a feather
FWhy can't you sEbee you cAban't control the weather?
CmSometimes, I caught myself looking in the mirror
With my eyeFmballs out and I'm looking at the fear
In the boCmttom of the drain, saw it growing like a plant
But it neFmver works out the way I wrote it in my hands
I trCmied, I tried, I tried, I tried
DeFmcide, decide, decide, decide
(It's always something)
CmDecide, decide, decide, decide
FmDecide, decide, decide, decide
[Chorus]
CmIt's always something before the late night
FmAround the corner, there's always something waiting for you
CmCan't hold the hands back, can't make the sun rise
FmIt's always something, you know it's always something
FmYou know it's always something
FmYou know it's always something
