C# Driving through the long night A#m Trying to figure whoʼs rigth and whoʼs wrong C# Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight. A#m C# She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on. F# G# And I might be more a man if I stopped this in itʼs tracks A#m C# F# And said come on, letʼs go home. But sheʼs got the wheel. G# C# F# And Iʼve got nothing except what I have on. Chorus: C# When youʼre driving with the brakes on. A#m When youʼre swimming with youʼre boots on. F# G# Itʼs hard to say you love someone A#m F# G# And itʼs hard to say you donʼt. C# Trying to keep the mood right, A#m Trying to steer the conversation from the thing weʼve done. C# She shuts up the ashtray A#m C# And I say itʼs a long way back now hon and she just yawns. F# G# And we might get lost someplace so desolate A#m C# F# That no one where weʼre from would ever come G# C# F# But sheʼs got the wheel and Iʼve got to deal from now on. Chorus: C# When youʼre driving with the brakes on. A#m When youʼre swimming with youʼre boots on. F# G# Itʼs hard to say you love someone A#m F# G# And itʼs hard to say you donʼt. C# A#m F# A#m F# C# But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide. A#m F# G# A#m F# G# Nothingʼs gonna make me break from her side. C# When youʼre driving with the brakes on. A#m When youʼre swimming with youʼre boots on. F# G# Itʼs hard to say you love someone A#m F# G# And itʼs hard to say you donʼt. F# G# Itʼs hard to say you love someone A#m F# C# And itʼs hard to say you donʼt.
