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                        Fmaj7/b5                         
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
