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