Del Amitri - Driving With The Brakes On (live) chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb] I'm driving through the long night, trying to figure who's right and [Cm] who's wrong.
Now the [Eb] kid is gone, but I set down and uptight.
She sucks on a match [Bb] like a warm [Cm] bronze [Eb] steering arm.
[Bb] [Eb] And I [Ab] might be more a man if [Bb] I stopped listening to tracks and said,
[Eb] Come on, let's [Cm] go home.
[Ab] She's got the feel, [Bb] and I've got nothing except what I [Cm] have on.
[Ab] When you're driving [Eb] with the [Bb] breeze on,
[Eb] When you're swimming with [Cm] your boots on,
It's hard to say [Ab] you love [Eb] someone,
[Ab]
[Bb] And it's hard to say [Cm] you're down.
[Ab]
[Bb]
[Eb] Trying to keep the mood right,
Trying to steer the conversation [Cm] from the thing [Eb] we've done.
She shuts up the asterisk,
I say it's a long way back [Cm] now,
But she [Eb] just yells.
And we might get lost [Ab] someplace [Bb] so desolate
That no one will [Eb] ever promise we'll [Cm] ever come.
[Ab] She's got the wheel, [Bb] and I've got the deal from [Cm] now on.
[Ab] When you're driving [Eb] with the breeze on,
When you're swimming [Cm] with your boots on,
It's hard to [Ab] say you love someone,
[Bb] And it's hard to say [Cm] you're [Ab] down.
[Bb] The less the [Eb] moon falls [Cm] tonight,
[Ab] The less continents
[Cm] collide,
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] Nothing's [Cm] gonna be [Ab]
[Bb] left,
But the rain from [C] hell's tide.
[Ab]
[Bb]
[Ab]
[Ab]
Cause when you're driving [Eb] with the breeze [Bb] on,
[Eb]
When you're swimming [Cm] with your boots on,
It's hard to say [Ab] you love someone,
[Bb] And it's hard to say [Cm] you're down.
[Ab] It's hard to say you love someone,
[Bb] And it's hard to say [Cm] you're down.
[Eb] [Gb]
