[Intro]
N.C.
Heh, not again
N.C.
Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me
[Break]
C D G
Keep rockin', and keep knockin', whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
C D Em
You see the hate that they're servin' on a platter, so what we gon' have dessert or disaster
[Verse]
C D G
I never thought I'd be in love like this
C D Em
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
C D G
Then you came in, and knocked me on my face
C D Em
Feels like I'm in a race, but I already won first place
C D G
I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did (As hard as I did, yeah)
C D Em
You got me thinkin' 'bout our life our house and kids, yeah
C D G
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
C D Em
'Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down, knocked me down
[Chorus]
C D G
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around love comes around)
C D Em
And it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
C D G
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around)
C D Em
And it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
[Verse]
C D G
I never thought I'd, hear myself say
C D Em
Ya'll gon' head, I think I'm gonna kick it wit my girl today (kick it wit my girl today)
C D G
I used to be commander and chief of my pimp ship flyin' high (flyin' high)
C D Em
Til I met this pretty little missile that shot me out the sky (oh, shot me out the sky)
C D G
Hate to know now I'm crashing, don't know how it happened but I know it feels so damn good
C D Em
Said if I could back, and make it happen faster don't you know I would baby if I could
C D G
Miss Independent, ohh, to the fullest, the load never too much She helpin' me pull it
C D Em
She shot the bullet that ended that life I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight girl
[Chorus]
C D G
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around love comes around)
C D Em
And it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
C D G
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around)
C D Em
And it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
[Verse]
C D G
Tell me now can you make it past your caspers so we can finally fly off into NASA
C D Em
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams that seem to only date the head of football teams
C D
And I was the class clown that, always kept you laughin'
G
We were never meant to be baby we just happen
C D Em
So please, don't mess up the trick, hey young world, I'm the new Slick Rick
C D
They say I move too quick, but we can't let this moment pass us
G
Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
C D
Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses
Em
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
C D G
How could a goddess ask, someone that's only average for advice, OMG, you listen to that bitch?
C D Em
Whoa, it's me, baby this is tragic 'cause we had it, we was magic
C D G
I was flyin', now I'm crashin', this is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
C D Em
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson, you should leave your boyfriend now,
I'mma ask him
[Verse]
C D
So you gotta take the good, the bad, happy and the sad
G
Or will you bring the better future then I had in the past
C D
'Cause I don't want to make the same mistakes I did
Em
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
C D G
Woah, woah, I'll admit it, I was scared to answer loves call
C D Em
Woah, woah, and if it hits, better make it worth the fall (when it comes around)
[Chorus]
C D G
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around love comes around)
C D Em
And it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
C D G
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around)
C D Em
And it knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Knocks you down
[Outro]
C D
Won’t see it coming when it happens
G C
But when it happens, you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you now
D Em
You see when love comes knocks you down
C D
Won’t see it coming when it happens
G C
But when it happens you’re gonna feel it, let me tell you now
D Em
You see when love knocks you down
