Verse
G/D Em
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
G/D
Now the kid has gone
Em
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light glowing bronze
G/D
Steering on
C D G/D
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks and said come on
Em
Let's go home
C D Em
But she's got the wheel, and I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
C G/D
When you're driving with the brakes on
Em
When you're swimming with you're boots on
C
It's hard to say you love someone
D Em C Dsus4 D
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
G/D Em
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
G/D
The thing we've done
Em
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
G/D
And she just yawns
C D G/D Em
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
C D Em
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
C G/D
When you're driving with the brakes on
Em
When you're swimming with you're boots on
C
It's hard to say you love someone
D Em C Dsus4
It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]
D G/D Em
But unless the moon falls tonight
C Em C
Unless continents collide
G/D Em C
Nothin's gonna make me
D Em C D
Break from her side
[Chorus]
C G/D
When you're driving with the brakes on
Em
When you're swimming with you're boots on
C
It's hard to say you love someone
Dsus4 D Em
It's hard to say you don't
C
It's hard to say you love someone
Dsus4 D Em C G
It's hard to say you don't
