Del Amitri - Driving With The Brakes On chords
Start Jamming...
Driving through the long night
Trying to figure who's [Bb] right and [Cm] who's wrong
Now the [Eb] kid is gone
And
[Bb] [Eb] I sit belted up tight
And she sucks on a match like Rolling [Cm] bronze
[Eb] Stealing love
[Bb] [Eb] And I [Ab] might be more of man
If I [Bb] stop this in its tracks
And said come [Eb] on
Let's go [Cm] home
But
[Gm] [Ab] she's got the wheel
[Bb] I've got nothing except what I have [Cm] on
When
[Ab] you're driving with [Eb] brakes on
When you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on
It's hard to say [Ab] you've lost someone
And [Bb] it's hard to say [Cm] you're done
[Ab]
Trying [Bb]
[Eb] to keep the mood right
[Bb] Trying [Eb] to steal the conversation [Cm] from
The thing [Eb] with love
She shuts up the ice tray
But I say it's a long way back [Cm] now
But she [Eb] just yells
And [Ab] we might get lost someplace
[Bb] So desolate that no one will [Eb] ever follow
No one will [Cm] ever come along
[Ab] But she's got the [Ab] wheel
[Bb] I've got to [Bb] deal from [Cm] now on
[Ab] When you're driving with [Eb] brakes on
When you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on
It's hard to say [Ab] you've lost someone
[Bb] And it's hard to say [Cm] you're done
[Ab] But
[Bb] unless the moon [Eb] falls [Cm] tonight
[Ab] And West Continents [Cm] collide
[Eb] Nothing's gonna [Cm] make me
[Ab]
[Bb] Break from [Cm] the side
[Eb]
[Bb]
[Ab]
Cause
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] when you're driving with brakes on
When you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on
It's hard to [Gm] say [Ab] you've lost someone
[Bb]
And it's hard to say you're [C] done
[Cm] [Ab]
It's hard to say you've lost someone
And [Bb]
it's hard to say [Cm] you're [Gm] [Ab] done
[Eb] [G]
