Verse
C#/G# A#m
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
C#/G#
Now the kid has gone
A#m
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
A#m
Let's go home
F# G# A#m
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
A#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
F#
It's hard to say you love someone
G# A#m F# G#sus4 G#
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
C#/G# A#m
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
C#/G#
The thing we've done
A#m
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# A#m
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
F# G# A#m
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
A#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
F#
It's hard to say you love someone
G# A#m F# G#sus4
It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]
G# C#/G# A#m
But unless the moon falls tonight
F# A#m F#
Unless continents collide
C#/G# A#m F#
Nothin's gonna make me
G# A#m F# G#
Break from her side
[Chorus]
F# C#/G#
When you're driving with the brakes on
A#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
F#
It's hard to say you love someone
G#sus4 G# A#m
It's hard to say you don't
F#
It's hard to say you love someone
G#sus4 G# A#m F# C#
It's hard to say you don't
