[Verse 1]
It's alright, there comes a time
Got no patience to search for peace of mind
Layin' low, want to take it slow
No more hiding or disguising truths I've sold

[Chorus]
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, that I know

[Verse 2]
It's okay, had a bad day
Hands are bruised from breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue, I bleed for you
You think it's funny? Well, you're drowning in it too

[Chorus]
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, that I know

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine
You, my friend, I will defend
And if we change, well I'll love you anyway

[Chorus]
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, that I know

Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
