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.

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

And it's hard to say you don't
