INTRO - G - Em - Am - D
(verse 1)
G D
Downtown, stop light, red car rolls by,
Em D
What else can I do but wonder if it's you
G D
Scannin the stations, every song they're playin
Em D
Is like a soundtrack to the love we had
(bridge)
Am Em G
I should be over you by now
Am Em D
But every time I turn around
(chorus)
G
It's always somethin everyday remindin me,
D
Everywhere I go, there's a memory,
Em
Ready and waitin to catch me off guard,
Am D
There's no way to prepare my heart,
G
What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do,
D
If only I could just stop missin you,
Em Am
I'd let go of our love like it was never nothin,
G
But it's always somethin,
(verse 2)
Lunchtime, a new place; waitress says her name,
Why does it have to be Emily,
Corner store, stopped in, someone asked how you been,
I said I wouldn't know, I really gotta go,
(bridge)
Wish I could forget you but I don't know how,
Cause every time I turn around,
(chorus)
G
It's always somethin everyday remindin me,
D
Everywhere I go, there's a memory,
Em
Ready and waitin to catch me off guard,
Am D
There's no way to prepare my heart,
G
What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do,
D
If only I could just stop missin you,
Em Am
I'd let go of our love like it was never nothin,
G
But it's always somethin, (Chorus x2)
(chords - A - D )
It's always somethin
Oh it's always somethin
It's always somethin
