[Verse 1]
Cm
Early in the morning
Cm
Rise to meet the sun
Fm
Work so hard to feed your wife
Fm
No time to show her loving
           Cm
And in the madness of the evening
       Cm
With diamonds in your hand
      Fm
Came home an hour early
Fm
Caught her with another man
[Chorus]
Cm
It's always something before the late night
Fm
Around the corner, there's always something waiting for you
Cm
Can't hold the hands back, can't make the sun rise
Fm
It's always something, you know it's always something
[Interlude]
Cm Fm
[Verse 2]
Cm
On your way back home again
Cm
A good samaritan
     Fm
You see a man stuck in the rain
Fm
Stranded with no friends
               Cm
And from the goodness of your heart
Cm
You saved him from the flood
    Fm
A couple miles down the road
Fm
He's covered in your blood
[Chorus]
Cm
It's always something before the late night
Fm
Around the corner, there's always something waiting for you
Cm
Can't hold the hands back, can't make the sun rise
Fm
It's always something, you know it's always something

[Bridge]
F        Eb         Ab
Moving around you never see it coming
F               Eb        Ab
Burned by the light you thought that you were running
F         Eb            Ab
Blinded again, you're floating like a feather
F              Eb      Ab
Why can't you see you can't control the weather?
Cm
Sometimes, I caught myself looking in the mirror
           Fm
With my eyeballs out and I'm looking at the fear
         Cm
In the bottom of the drain, saw it growing like a plant
         Fm
But it never works out the way I wrote it in my hands
    Cm
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
  Fm
Decide, decide, decide, decide
(It's always something)
Cm
Decide, decide, decide, decide
Fm
Decide, decide, decide, decide
[Chorus]

It's always something before the late night
Fm
Around the corner, there's always something waiting for you

Can't hold the hands back, can't make the sun rise

It's always something, you know it's always something

You know it's always something
