Driving With the Brakes On Del Amitri
[C]Driving through the long night
trying to figure who's right and who's wr[Am]ong.
Now the kid has go[C]ne.
I sit belted up tight. She sucks on a match light, glowing b[Am]ronze, steering on.
And I [F]might be more a man if I [G]stopped this in it's tracks
and said come [Am]on, let's go [C]home.
But [F]she's got the wheel,
and [G]I've got nothing except what I have [Am]on. [F]
[C]Trying to keep the mood right
trying to steer the conversation [Am]from
the thing we've do[C]ne.
She shuts up the ashtray and I say "It's a long way back now [Am]hon'",
and she just yawns.
And we mi[F]ght get lost someplace so des[G]olate that no one where we're
fr[Am]om would ever [C]come.
But [F]she's got the wheel and I[G]'ve got to deal from now [Am]on. [F]
CHORUS:
When you're driving with the b[C]rakes on.
When you're swimming with you're b[Am]oots on.
It's hard to say you l[F]ove someone, [G]
and it's hard to say you [Am]don't. [F] [G]
But unless the moon [C]falls tonight, [Am] [F]
unless continents coll[Am]ide. [F] [C]
Nothin's gonna [Am]make me [F] [G]
break from her [Am]side. [F] [G]
LAST CHORUS:
When you're driving with the b[C]rakes on.
When you're swimming with you're b[Am]oots on.
It's hard to say you l[F]ove someone, [G]
and it's hard to say you [Am]don't. [F] [G]
It's hard to say you l[F]ove someone, [G]
and it's hard to say you [Am]don't. [F] [C]
