Verse 1
[D7]Well it's a strange old game, you learn it slow

[D7]You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brake
[D7]In the groove till you make a mistake
Chorus
[D7]Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
[D7]Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
[D7]Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball
[D7]Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're gonna lose it all
Verse 2
[D7]You gotta know happy, you gotta know glad
[D7]Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad
[D7]When you're rippin' and a-ridin' and you're coming on strong
[D7]You start slippin' and a-slidin' and it all goes wrong
Chorus
