Verse
D/A Bm
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
D/A
Now the kid has gone
Bm
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light glowing bronze
D/A
Steering on
G A D/A
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks and said come on
Bm
Let's go home
G A Bm
But she's got the wheel, and I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
G D/A
When you're driving with the brakes on
Bm
When you're swimming with you're boots on
G
It's hard to say you love someone
A Bm G Asus4 A
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
D/A Bm
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
D/A
The thing we've done
Bm
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
D/A
And she just yawns
G A D/A Bm
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
G A Bm
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
G D/A
When you're driving with the brakes on
Bm
When you're swimming with you're boots on
G
It's hard to say you love someone
A Bm G Asus4
It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]
A D/A Bm
But unless the moon falls tonight
G Bm G
Unless continents collide
D/A Bm G
Nothin's gonna make me
A Bm G A
Break from her side
[Chorus]
G D/A
When you're driving with the brakes on
Bm
When you're swimming with you're boots on
G
It's hard to say you love someone
Asus4 A Bm
It's hard to say you don't
G
It's hard to say you love someone
Asus4 A Bm G D
It's hard to say you don't
