E Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow One step forward and it's back to go You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brakes In the groove 'til you make a mistake Chorus: E Sometime you're the windshield A Sometime you're the bug E Sometime it all comes together baby D A Sometime you're a fool in love E Sometime you're the louisville slugger A Sometime you're the ball E Sometime it all come together baby D A Sometime you're gonna lose it all, (groovin') You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know bad When you're rippin' and a-ridin' And you're coming on strong You start a-slippin' and a-slidin' And it all go wrong, because Chorus: Sometime-a you're the windshield Sometime-a you're the bug Sometime it all come together baby Sometime-a you're a fool in love Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger baby Sometime-a you're the ball Sometime it all come together Sometime you're gonna lose it all Groovy (Groovy) And again, groovy (Groovy) Right now One day you got the glory, 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 time roll before we say goodbye Chorus: Sometime-a you're the windshield Sometime-a you're the bug, yeah Sometime it all come together baby Sometime-a you're a fool in love Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger, baby Sometime-a you're the ball Sometime it all come together baby Sometime you're gonna lose it all I said Sometime-a you're the windshield Sometime-a you're the bug Sometime it all come together baby Sometime-a you're a fool in love Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger, baby Sometime-a you're the ball Sometime it all come together baby Sometime you're gonna lose it all Groovy (Do the bug) (Do the bug) (The bug, yeah) (The bug) The bug | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
