Driving With the Brakes On Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D][A][D][A]

[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.[A]
[D]I sit belted up tight,
She sucks on a match light,
glowing [Bm]bronze, [D]steering on.
And I [G]might be more a man if I
[A]stopped this in its tracks
And said come [D]on,
let's go [Bm]home. [G]But she's got the wheel,
And [A]I've got nothing except
what I have on.
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[G]
When you're driving with
the [D]brakes on,
When you're swimming with
[Bm]your boots on,
It's hard to say you love
[G]someone[A]
And it's hard to say you don't.
[Bm][G][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Trying to keep the mood right,
trying to steer the conversation [Bm]from
The thing [D]we've done.
She shuts up the ashtray and I say it's
a long way back now [Bm]hon
And she just [D]yawns. And we
[G]might get lost someplace
So [A]desolate that no one where we're
[D]from would ever [Bm]come
[G]But she's got the wheel and [A]I've got to deal from now
[Bm][G][D][A][D]
[A]on.[Bm]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G][A][Bm]
[G][A]

[Verse 4]
But [A]unless the moon [D]falls tonight,
[Bm]unle[G]ss continents collide,[Bm][G][D]
Nothing's [A]gonna [Bm]make [G]me [A]break from her sid[Bm]e.[G]

[Outro 1]
[A]
[G][A][G][A][G][D][Bm][G]
[A][Bm][A][G][A][Bm][G][D]
