Verse
C/G Am
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
C/G
Now the kid has gone
Am
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light glowing bronze
C/G
Steering on
F G C/G
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks and said come on
Am
Let's go home
F G Am
But she's got the wheel, and I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
F C/G
When you're driving with the brakes on
Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on
F
It's hard to say you love someone
G Am F Gsus4 G
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
C/G Am
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
C/G
The thing we've done
Am
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
C/G
And she just yawns
F G C/G Am
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
F G Am
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
F C/G
When you're driving with the brakes on
Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on

It's hard to say you love someone

It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]

But unless the moon falls tonight
F Am F
Unless continents collide
C/G Am F
Nothin's gonna make me
G Am F G
Break from her side
[Chorus]

When you're driving with the brakes on
Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on

It's hard to say you love someone

It's hard to say you love someone
