Verse
A/E F#m
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
A/E
Now the kid has gone
F#m
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light glowing bronze
A/E
Steering on
D E A/E
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks and said come on
F#m
Let's go home
D E F#m
But she's got the wheel, and I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
D A/E
When you're driving with the brakes on
F#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
D
It's hard to say you love someone
E F#m D Esus4 E
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
A/E F#m
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
A/E
The thing we've done
F#m
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
A/E
And she just yawns
D E A/E F#m
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
D E F#m
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
D A/E
When you're driving with the brakes on
F#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
D
It's hard to say you love someone
E F#m D Esus4
It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]
E A/E F#m
But unless the moon falls tonight
D F#m D
Unless continents collide
A/E F#m D
Nothin's gonna make me
E F#m D E
Break from her side
[Chorus]
D A/E
When you're driving with the brakes on
F#m
When you're swimming with you're boots on
D
It's hard to say you love someone
Esus4 E F#m
It's hard to say you don't
D
It's hard to say you love someone
Esus4 E F#m D A
It's hard to say you don't
