Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

D7D7D7D7D7D7D7D7 [intro]
D7D7D7D7 Well it's a strange old game, you learn it slow D7D7D7D7 One step forward and it's back you go D7D7D7D7 You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brake D7D7 In the groove till you make a mistake
D7D7D7G7 Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug D7D7D7C - G Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're just a fool in love D7D7D7G7 Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball D7D7D7C - 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

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
