Intro:
C*      4x 

C*                                                   
    Driving through the long night
C*                                                   
    Trying to figure who's right
           Am7*                                         
and who's        wrong
                 C*                                   
Now the kid has      gone

C*                                                   
    I sit belted up tight
C*                                                   
    She sucks on a match light
         Am7*                                           
glowing       bronze
             C*                                       
   steering      on

       F                        Fmaj7b5                        
And I     might be more a man 
      Gadd4                       G                         
if I        stopped this in it's     tracks and said
      Am7*                                              
come        on
          C*         C*                                  
let's go      home
     F*                                               
But     she's got the wheel 
     G*                                               
And     I've got nothing 
      G*                    Am7*                            
ex -      cept what I have       on 


Chorus:
F*                                 C*                     
     When you're driving with the      brakes on.
                                   Am7*                  
When you're swimming with you're        boots on.
                      F*                               
It's hard to say you      love someone
G*                            Am        G - F* - G*                   
    And it's hard to say you     don't


C*                                                   
    Trying to keep the mood right
C*                                    Am7*                  
    trying to steer the conversation       from
                 C*                                   
The thing we've     done

C*                                                   
    She shuts up the ashtray 
     C*                                  Am7*               
and      I say it's a long way back now        hon
              C*                                       
And she just     yawns

        F*                                            
And we      might get lost someplace
    G*                                    C*               
So      desolate that no one where we're      from 
            Am7*                                        
would ever        come
     F*                                               
But     she's got the wheel 
     G*                             Am7*                    
and      I've got to deal from now       on


Chorus:
F*                                 C*                     
     When you're driving with the      brakes on
                                  Am7*                  
When you're swimming with you're        boots on
                      F*                              
It's hard to say you     love someone
G*                            Am          G - F* - G*                 
    And it's hard to say you      don't


          G                 C                 Am7* -           
But un -     less the moon     falls tonight 
F*          F                    Am7         F -                 
    unless     continents col -       lide 
C*                   Am7           F -                        
    Nothing's gonna       make me 
G                        Am7      F       G                    
    break from her si -      i -     i -     de/
F/A -     

Chorus:
F/A                                C*                     
     When you're driving with the       brakes on
                                  Am7*                  
When you're swimming with you're        boots on
                      F*                              
It's hard to say you      love someone
G*                             Am7*         F*                   
    And it's hard to say you        don't 
                      F*                              
It's hard to say you      love someone
G*                              Am7*         F* - C* //                
     And it's hard to say you        don't
