It's (C)one of those days you can't explain when nothin's right or wrong (F)
(G)Too much wine or not enough, so you just play along (C)
There's no rhyme or reason, ain't a damn thing you can (F)do
Somedays you write the (C)song, some-(G)days the song writes (C)you

(C)Searchin' for a melody to sing my soul to (F)sleep
(G)Reachin' for some harmony down inside of (C)me
Somedays you know just how it goes, somedays you have no clue (F)
Somedays you write the (C)song, some-(G)days the song writes (C) you.

You can (Dm)fall, you can fly, get low (F)down or get high
You can (C6)try or just leave it alone
You can (Dm)search for the way, you can (F)curse, you can pray
But the (C6)words have a (Caug)way of their (C6)own (G)

(C) It don't matter how much it hurts, you've got to tell the truth (F)
Somedays you write the (C)song, some-(G)days the song writes (C) you

Now (C)you may think I just made this up, but I would not lie, that's true (F)
