(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
