Driving With The Brakes On

Doc Walker


Tom: Db

Capo 1 

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

 Refrão -------------                              C 
When you're driving with the brakes on. 
                                 Am 
When you're swimming with you're boots on. 
                     F                             G 
It's hard to say you love someone (hard to say you love someone) 
                         Am      F 
And it's hard to say you don't.  

Trying to keep the mood right,  
trying to steer the conversation from, the thing we've done. 
She shuts up the ashtray and I say it's a long way back now on, 
And she just yawns.  
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on. 

Refrão -------------                   C             Am FG 
But unless the moon falls tonight,    
       C          Am      F G 
unless continents collide. 
                Am    F  G               
Nothing's gonna make me  
               Am    F   G 
Break from her side. --------------------
