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

It's hard to say you don't
