[D] [Dm]
Well, it's a strange old game to learn slow.
One step forward and it's back to go.
You're standing on the throttle, [A] standing on the [D] brake.
In the groove, do you make a mistake?
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes [G] you're the bug.
[D] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes you're a [G] fool in [D] love.
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger, sometimes [G] you're the bar.
[D] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes you're gonna [G] lose it all.
[D]
You gotta know [D] how to, you gotta know play.
[B] Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad.
[Am] [D] When you're dipping and riding and you're coming on strong.
[A] You start slipping and sliding and [Dm] it all goes wrong.
[D] Because sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the [D] bug.
Sometimes it all falls together, baby.
Sometimes you're a fool in love.
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger, sometimes you're the bar.
Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all, [A] yeah.
[E] Oh, oh.
[Dm]
[A] [E] [G]
[D]
One day you got the glory and then you got none.
Oh, one day you're a diamond and then you're a stone.
Everything can change [A] in the blink of an eye.
[Dm]
So [D] let the good times roll before we say goodbye.
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes [G] you're the bug.
[D] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes [C] you're a fool [G] in [D] love.
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger, baby.
Sometimes [G] you're the [D] windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes [C] you're gonna lose [G] it all.
[D] Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes [G] you're the bug.
[D] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes [C] you're a fool [G] in love.
[D] Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes [G] you're the bug.
[D] Sometimes it all comes together, baby.
Sometimes [C] you're just a [G] fool in [Dm] love.
