{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

{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
