[G]He was walking through the a[Bm]lley way
[C]Where the drifters sleep and the w[G]ild dogs play
[Am]The moon was black, t[Em]he sky was grey
[C]He thought he was a[D]lone
She was waiting at the rose hotel
Across the street from the wishing well
Turned the latch and broke the nail
Checked her mobile phone
Chorus:
[C]Sometimes you r[G]un, som[D]etimes you fa[Em]ll
[C]Sometimes you d[G]on't get up at a[D]ll
[C]Sometimes you r[D]un. sometimes you f[G]all[C][G][C]
He bought a ticket on the uptown train
Got off at 8th and birmingham
Wonder if she gave a dam about him anymore
She hadn't seen him in a year or so
Why he called she did not now
She had the oldies on the radio
and someone at the door
Chorus:
Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall
Sometimes you don't get up at all
Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall
He threw a nickel in the wishing well
Crossed the street to the Rose Hotel
Got no answer when he rang the bell
So he gave a little shout
Tiny watched him with baseball bat
A cheap cigar and a persian cap
Told him it was too bad that
She had just checked out
Chrous:
Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall
Sometimes you don't get up at all
