Verse
F/C Dm
Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
F/C
Now the kid has gone
Dm
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light glowing bronze
F/C
Steering on
A# C F/C
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks and said come on
Dm
Let's go home
A# C Dm
But she's got the wheel, and I've got nothing except what I have on
[Chorus]
A# F/C
When you're driving with the brakes on
Dm
When you're swimming with you're boots on
A#
It's hard to say you love someone
C Dm A# Csus4 C
It's hard to say you don't
[Verse 2]
F/C Dm
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
F/C
The thing we've done
Dm
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
F/C
And she just yawns
A# C F/C Dm
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
A# C Dm
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
[Chorus]
A# F/C
When you're driving with the brakes on
Dm
When you're swimming with you're boots on
A#
It's hard to say you love someone
C Dm A# Csus4
It's hard to say you don't
[Bridge]
C F/C Dm
But unless the moon falls tonight
A# Dm A#
Unless continents collide
F/C Dm A#
Nothin's gonna make me
C Dm A# C
Break from her side
[Chorus]
A# F/C
When you're driving with the brakes on
Dm
When you're swimming with you're boots on
A#
It's hard to say you love someone
Csus4 C Dm
It's hard to say you don't
A#
It's hard to say you love someone
Csus4 C Dm A# F
It's hard to say you don't
