[E]
[Em] [E]
But it's a strange old [Em] game, you learn it so low.
[E]
One step forward and it's back to [E] go.
Standing on a throttle, standing on a brake.
Then it proves to you to make a mistake.
Sometimes you're the wind and she's you.
Sometimes [A] you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together.
Sometimes [D] we go off [A] a little [E] low.
Sometimes you're a little sluggish.
Sometimes [A] you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together.
Sometimes [D] we're gonna lose it all.
[E] You [E]
got [D] [A] [E] no happy, got no glad.
Cause you're gonna go lonely and you know [Em] that.
[E] I know you're ripping and a-rattling and you're coming off strong.
You start slipping and a-sliding and it all won't be fun.
Sometimes you're the wind and she's you.
Sometimes [A] you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
[D] Sometimes we go off a little [A] low.
[E] Sometimes you're a little sluggish, baby.
[A] Sometimes you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together.
[A] Sometimes we're gonna lose it all.
You gotta [E] move it.
[D]
[D] Gotta get [E] [D] it.
[E]
Break [D] that.
[E] You come close and then you come not.
The day of the time and then you'll get stoned.
That's what you do every night.
So it's a good time all the folks say goodbye.
Sometimes you're the wind and she's you.
Sometimes [A] you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes [D] we go off a little [A] low.
[E] Sometimes you're a little sluggish, baby.
Sometimes [A] you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
[D] Sometimes we're gonna lose [A] it all.
[E] Sometimes you're the wind and she's you.
Sometimes [A] you're the bug.
[E] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes they [D] go through [A] little love
[E] Sometimes they want to do little to love a baby
Sometimes they [A] love them all
[E] Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes they [D] want to lose it [A] all [Em] together
