INTRO/VERSE/CHORUS:
Alternate between Cmaj7 and C as well as Asus2 and Am (index finger).
[Verse 1]
C
Driving through the long night
Am
trying to figure who's right and who's wrong.
C
Now the kid has gone.
Am C
I sit belted up tight. She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on.
F G
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in its tracks
C Am
and said come on, let's go home.
F
But she's got the wheel,
G Am F
and I've got nothing except what I have on.
[Chorus]
C
When you're driving with the brakes on.
Am
When you're swimming with your boots on.
F G
It's hard to say you love someone,
Am F G
and it's hard to say you don't.
[Verse 2]
C
Trying to keep the mood right,
Am
trying to steer the conversation from
C
the thing we've done.
Am
She shuts up the ashtray and I say "It's a long way back now hon", and she just
C
yawns.
F G C
And we might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would
Am
ever come.
F
But she's got the wheel
G Am F
and I've got to deal from now on.
[Chorus]
C
When you're driving with the brakes on.
Am
When you're swimming with your boots on.
F G
It's hard to say you love someone,
Am F G
and it's hard to say you don't.
[Bridge]
C Am F
But unless the moon falls tonight,
Am F C
unless continents collide.
Am F G
Nothin's gonna make me
Am F G
break from her side.
[Chorus]
C
'Cos when you're driving with the brakes on.
Am
When you're swimming with your boots on.
F G
It's hard to say you love someone,
Am F
and it's hard to say you don't.
F G
It's hard to say you love someone,
Am F C
and it's hard to say you don't.
