[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] glowing [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 [Ab] don't.
[Bb]
[Eb] Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation [Cm] from
The [Eb] thing we've done, and she shuts up the ashtray,
And I say it's a long way back [Cm] now home, and [Bb] she just [Eb] yawns.
And [Ab] we might get lost someplace [Bb] so desolate that no one will ever know where we're [Eb] from,
And
[Cm] she's [Ab] got the wheel,
[Bb] and 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 [Cm] you [Ab] don't.
[Bb] [C] But unless the [Eb] moon crosses the [Cm] night,
[Ab] unless continents [C] collide,
[Ab]
[Eb] Nothing's gonna [C] make me [Ab]
[Bb] break from [Cm] her [Ab] side.
