Key of D 
4/4 Time 
 

D 
Well it?s a strange ol? game, you learn it slow 
D 
One step forward and it?s back to go 
D 
You?re standin? on the throttle, standin? on the brake 
D 
In the groove ?til you make a mistake 


D                                 
Sometimes you?re the windshield, 
                     G 
sometimes you?re the bug 
D                                      
Sometimes it all comes together, babe, 
                   C       G 
sometimes you?re a fool in love 
D                                              
Sometimes you?re the Louisville Slugger, baby, 
                     G 
sometimes you?re the ball 
D                                       
Sometimes it all comes together, babe, 
                       C       G 
sometimes you?re gonna lose it all 
 

D 
Yeah  
 
 
D 
You gotta know happy, you gotta know glad 
D 
?Cause you?re gonna know lonely and you?re gonna know sad 
D 
When you?re rippin an a? ridin? and you?re coming on strong 
D 
You start slippin and a? slidin? and it all goes wrong 


D                                 
Sometimes you?re the windshield, 
                     G 
sometimes you?re the bug 
D                                      
Sometimes it all comes together, babe, 
                   C       G 
sometimes you?re a fool in love 
D                                              
Sometimes you?re the Louisville Slugger, baby, 
                     G 
sometimes you?re the ball 
D                                       
Sometimes it all comes together, babe, 
                       C       G 
sometimes you?re gonna lose it all

One day you got the glory then you got none

D         (stop) 
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye

Sometimes it all comes together, baby, 
                        C       G 
sometimes you?re just a fool in love
