Driving With The Brakes On
Capo on 1st fret
D
Driving through the long night
Bm
Trying to figure who's rigth and who's wrong
D
Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight.
Bm D
She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on.
G A
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks
Bm D G
And said come on, let's go home. But she's got the wheel.
A D G
And I've got nothing except what I have on.
Chorus:
D
When you're driving with the brakes on.
Bm
When you're swimming with you're boots on.
G A
It's hard to say you love someone
Bm G A
And it's hard to say you don't.
D
Trying to keep the mood right,
Bm
Trying to steer the conversation from the thing we've done.
D
She shuts up the ashtray
Bm D
And I say it's a long way back now hon and she just yawns.
G A
And we might get lost someplace so desolate
Bm D G
That no one where we're from would ever come
A D G
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on.
Chorus:
D
When you're driving with the brakes on.
Bm
When you're swimming with you're boots on.
G A
It's hard to say you love someone
Bm G A
And it's hard to say you don't.
D Bm G Bm G D
But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide.
Bm G A Bm G A
Nothing's gonna make me break from her side.
D
When you're driving with the brakes on.
Bm
When you're swimming with you're boots on.
G A
It's hard to say you love someone
Bm G A
And it's hard to say you don't.
G A
It's hard to say you love someone
Bm G D
And it's hard to say you don't.
End on D
