Verse
B/F# G#m
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
B/F#
Now the kid has gone
G#m
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light glowing bronze
B/F#
Steering on
E F# B/F#
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks and said come on
G#m
Let's go home
E F# G#m
But she's got the wheel, and I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
E B/F#
When you're driving with the brakes on
G#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
E
It's hard to say you love someone
F# G#m E F#sus4 F#
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
B/F# G#m
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
B/F#
The thing we've done
G#m
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
B/F#
And she just yawns
E F# B/F# G#m
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
E F# G#m
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
E B/F#
When you're driving with the brakes on
G#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
E
It's hard to say you love someone
F# G#m E F#sus4
It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]
F# B/F# G#m
But unless the moon falls tonight
E G#m E
Unless continents collide
B/F# G#m E
Nothin's gonna make me
F# G#m E F#
Break from her side
[Chorus]
E B/F#
When you're driving with the brakes on
G#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
E
It's hard to say you love someone
F#sus4 F# G#m
It's hard to say you don't
E
It's hard to say you love someone
F#sus4 F# G#m E B
It's hard to say you don't
