[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
D7 D7 D7 G7
