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


[Chorus]
F                             C/G
 When you're driving with the brakes on
                                  Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on
                      F
It's hard to say you love someone
G                      Am  F  Gsus4  G
 It's hard to say you don't


[Verse 2]
C/G                                                               Am
Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from
         C/G
The thing we've done
                                                                Am
She shuts up the ashtray and I say, "It's a long way back now, hon'"
            C/G
And she just yawns
  F                            G                                   C/G       Am
We might get lost someplace, so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
      F                     G                          Am
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on


[Chorus]
F                             C/G
 When you're driving with the brakes on
                                  Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on
                      F
It's hard to say you love someone
G                      Am  F  Gsus4
 It's hard to say you don't


[Bridge]
      G             C/G       Am
But unless the moon falls tonight
F                       Am  F
 Unless continents collide
C/G               Am    F
 Nothin's gonna make me
G               Am  F  G
 Break from her side


[Chorus]
F                             C/G
 When you're driving with the brakes on
                                  Am
When you're swimming with you're boots on
                      F
It's hard to say you love someone
Gsus4  G                Am
  It's hard to say you don't
F
 It's hard to say you love someone
Gsus4  G                Am  F  C
  It's hard to say you don't
