               C                 Am
Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't
              C
Sometimes we give, sometimes we won't
                  F                     G
Sometimes were strong, sometimes were wrong
               C F C G
Sometimes we cry

Sometimes it's bad when the going gets tough
When we look in the mirror and we want to give up
Sometimes we don't even think we'll try
Sometimes we cry

Well we're gonna have to sit down
and think it right through
If we're only human what more can we do?
The only thing to do is eat humble pie
Sometimes we cry

'Fore they put me in a jacket and they take me away
I'm not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry

Sometimes we can't see anything straight
Sometimes everybody is on the make
Sometimes it's lonely on the lost highway
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry

Gonna put me in a jacket (Put me in a jacket)
And take me away (And take me away)
I'm not gonna fake it like Johnnie Ray (Johnnie Ray)
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry

Doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we cry
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo duh, doo doo doo duh
Doo doo doo
Sometimes we live, sometimes we die
Sometimes we cry
