Capo 1
[C]Driving through the long night
Trying to figure who's right and who's [Am]wrong
Now the kid has go[C]ne. [C]I sit belted up tight
She sucks on a match light, glowing b[Am]ronze, steering [C]on

And I [F]might be more a man if I [G]stopped this in it's tracks
And said come [C]on, let's go [Am]home. But [F]she's got the wheel
And [G]I've got nothing 'xcept what I have [Am]on ..[F]

CHORUS:
When you're driving with the [C]brakes on
When you're swimming with you're [Am]boots on
It's hard to say you [F]love someone [G]
And it's hard to say you don't [Am] [F] [G]

[C]Trying to keep the mood right
trying to steer the conversation [Am]from
The thing we've do[C]ne. [C]She shuts up the ashtray
and I say "it's a long way back now [Am]hun" but she just [C]yawns

But [F]she's got the wheel
and [G]I've got to deal from now [Am]on ..[F]

CHORUS:
When you're driving with the [C]brakes on
When you're swimming with you're [Am]boots on
It's hard to say you [F]love someone [G]
And it's hard to say you [Am]don't [F] [G]

But unless the moon [C]falls tonig[Am]ht [F]
unless continents coll[Am]ide [F] [C]
Nothing's gonna [Am]make me [F] [G]
break from her [Am]side [F] [G]

CHORUS:
Cuz when you're driving with the [C]brakes on
When you're swimming with you're [Am]boots on
It's hard to say you lov[F]e someone [G]
And it's hard to say you [Am]don't  [F]

When you're driving with the [C]brakes on
When you're driving with the [C]brakes on
