Driving With the Brakes On
Capo 1
C
Driving through the long night
Am
Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
C C
Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight
Am C
She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on
F G
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks
C Am F
And said come on, let's go home. But she's got the wheel
G Am F
And I've got nothing 'xcept what I have on ..
CHORUS:
C
When you're driving with the brakes on
Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on
F G
It's hard to say you love someone
AFG
And it's hard to say you don't
C
Trying to keep the mood right
Am
trying to steer the conversation from
C C
The thing we've done. She shuts up the ashtray
Am C
and I say "it's a long way back now hun" but she just yawns
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 you're boots on
F G
It's hard to say you love someone
Am FG
And it's hard to say you don't
C Am F
But unless the moon falls tonight
Am FC
unless continents collide
Am FG
Nothing's gonna make me
Am FG
break from her side
CHORUS:
C
Cuz when you're driving with the brakes on
Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on
F G
It's hard to say you love someone
Am F
And it's hard to say you don't
C
When you're driving with the brakes on
C
When you're driving with the brakes on
