Capo 1
C
Driving through the long night
Am
Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
CC
Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight
AmC
She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on
FG
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks
CAmF
And said come on, let's go home. But she's got the wheel
GAmF
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
FG
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
CC
The thing we've done. She shuts up the ashtray
AmC
and I say "it's a long way back now hun" but she just yawns
F
But she's got the wheel
GAmF
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
FG
It's hard to say you love someone
AmFG
And it's hard to say you don't
CAmF
But unless the moon falls tonight
AmFC
unless continents collide
AmFG
Nothing's gonna make me
AmFG
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
FG
It's hard to say you love someone
AmF
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
