DRIVING WITH THE BRAKES ON

G
Driving through the long night
                                       Em
Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
                G
Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight.
                                    Em               G
She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on.
      C                        D
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks
              Em           G         C
And said come on, let's go home. But she's got the wheel.
    D                                   Em     C
And I've got nothing except what I have on.

CHORUS:
                              G
When you're driving with the brakes on.
                                 Em
When you're swimming with you're boots on.
                     C             D
It's hard to say you love someone
                         Em      C
And it's hard to say you don't.


Trying to keep the mood right, 
trying to steer the conversation from,the thing we've done.
She shuts up the ashtray and I say it's a long way back now hon,
And she just yawns. 
And we might get lost someplace
So desolate that no one where we're from, would ever come
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on.


When you're driving with the brakes on.
When you're swimming with you're boots on.
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't.

                  G             Em
But unless the moon falls tonight,   
       C          Em      G
unless continents collide.
                Em    C  D              
Nothing's gonna make me 
               Em    C   D
Break from her side.
