[intro]
D7 D7 D7 D7
Well it`s a strange old game, you learn it slow
D7 D7 D7 D7
One step forward and it`s back you go
D7 D7 D7 D7
You`re standing on the throttle, you`re standing on the brake
D7 D7
In the groove till you make a mistake
D7 D7 D7 G7
Sometimes you`re the windshield, sometimes you`re the bug
D7 D7 D7 C - G
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re just a fool in love
D7 D7 D7 G7
Sometimes you`re the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you`re the ball
D7 D7 D7 C - G
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re gonna lose it all
You gotta know happy, you gotta know glad
Because you`re gonna know lonely and you`re gonna know sad
When you`re rippin` and a-ridin` and you`re coming on strong
You start slippin` and a-slidin` and it all goes wrong
Because sometimes you`re the windshield, sometimes you`re the bug
Sometimes it all falls together baby, sometimes you`re a fool in love
Sometimes you`re the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you`re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re gonna lose it all
A7 A7(sus4) A7 D7 A7 A7 A7 C - G D7 D7 D7 D7
[guitar solo]
One day you got the glory, and then you got none
One day you`re a diamond, and then you`re a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye
Sometimes you`re the windshield, sometimes you`re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re a fool in love
Sometimes you`re the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you`re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re gonna lose it all
Sometimes you`re the windshield, sometimes you`re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re a fool in love
Sometimes you`re the windshield, sometimes you`re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you`re just a fool in love
D7 D7 D7 G7
