[intro]

            D7                    
Well it's a strange old game, you 
D7            D7  D7
learn it slow
D7                        D7     
One step forward and it's back 
     D7  D7
you go
       D7                       
You're standing on the throttle, 
        D7                    D7  D7
you're standing on the brake
D7                      D7
 In the groove till you make a 
mistake

D7                    D7         
 Sometimes you're the windshield,
D7                    G7
 sometimes you're the bug
D7             D7                
 Sometimes it all comes together 
     D7                       C   -
baby, sometimes you're just a fool 
    G
in love

 Sometimes you're the Louisville 
             D7                    
Slugger baby, sometimes you're the 
G7
ball
D7             D7                
 Sometimes it all comes together 
     D7                      C   - 
baby, sometimes you're gonna lose 
   G
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

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
