[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
