Cm
Early in the morning
Rise to meet the sun
Work so hard to feed your wife
No time to show her love
And in the madness of the evening
With diamonds in your hand
Came home an hour early
Caught her with another man

Chorus:
Cm
It's always something before the late night
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

On your way back home again
A good samaritan
You see a man stuck in the rain
Stranded with no friends
And from the goodness of your heart
You saved him from the flood
A couple miles down the road
He's covered in your blood

Chorus

G#       F          D#
Moving around, you never see it coming
Burned by the light you thought
that you were running
Blinded again, you're floating like a feather
Why can't you see you can't control the weather?

Sometimes, I caught myself looking in the mirror
With my eyeballs out and I'm looking at the fear
In the bottom of the drain,
saw it growing like a plant
But it never works out the way
I wrote it in my hands
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
(It's always something)
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried

Chorus

You know it's always something
You know it's always something
