[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and [Bb] who's [Cm] wrong.
Now the cat [C] has [Eb] gone, [Bb]
[Eb] I set the belted up tight.
She sucks on a match light, [Bb] blowing [Cm] bronze, [Eb] steering on.
And [Ab] I might be more of man if [Bb] I stopped this in its tracks and said,
[Eb] come on, let's [Cm] go home.
[Ab] But she's got the wheel, [Bb] and I've got nothing except what I [Cm] have on.
[Ab] When you're driving with [Eb] the brakes on, when you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on,
it's hard to say [Ab] you love someone,
[Bb] and it's hard to say [Cm] you don't.
[Ab]
[Bb] [Bb]
[Eb] Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation [Cm] from
the [Eb] thing we've done.
She shuts up the ashtray, [Bb]
and [Eb] I say it's a long way back [Cm] now,
and [Bb] she just [Eb] yawns.
And we [Ab] might get lost someplace [Bb] so desolate that no one will [Eb] know where
from or [Cm] ever come.
[Ab] But she's got the wheel,
[Bb] I've got to deal from [Cm] now on.
[Ab] When you're driving with [Eb] the brakes on, when you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on,
it's hard to say [Ab] you love someone,
[Bb] and it's hard to say you [Cm] [Ab] don't.
[Bb] [C] But unless [Bb] the [Eb] moon falls tonight, [Cm]
[Ab] unless continents [Cm] collide,
[Ab]
[Eb] nothing's gonna [C] make me [Ab]
[Bb] break from [Cm] her side.
[Ab]
[Bb] [Bb]
[Eb]
Because when you're driving with the brakes on, when you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on,
it's hard to say [Ab] you love someone,
[Bb] and it's hard to say you [Cm] don't.
[Ab] It's hard to say you love someone,
[Bb] and it's hard to say [Cm] you don't.
