Del Amitri, Driving With The Brakes On (1992)
^{Key: :[D] (w: Justin Currie)}

VERSE 1:
[D] Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and who's [Bm] wrong
Now the kid has [D] gone.
I sit belted up tight, she sucks on a match light, glowing [Bm] bronze, steering [D] on.
And I [G] might be more a man if I [A] stopped this in it's tracks, and said come [Bm] on, let's go [D] home.
But [G] she's got the wheel, and [A] I've got nothing except what I have [D] on. [G]

CHORUS:
When you're driving with the [D] brakes on. When you're swimming with you're [Bm] boots on.
It's hard to say you love [G] someone, [A] and it's hard to say you [Bm] don't [G] [A]

VERSE 2:
[D] Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation [Bm] from, the thing we've [D] done.
She shuts up the ashtray, and I say it's a long way back now [Bm] hon, and she just [D] yawns.
And [G] we might get lost someplace, so [A] desolate that no one's where we're [Bm] from, would ever [D] come
But [G] she's got the wheel, and [A] I've got to deal from now [D] on. [G]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
But unless the moon [D] falls tonight, [Bm] [G] unless continents col-[Bm]-lide. [G] [D]
Nothing's gonna [Bm] make me [G] [A] break from her [Bm] side. [G] [A]

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
It's hard to say you love [G] someone, [A] and it's hard to say you [Bm] don't [G] [D]
