Del Amitri – Driving With The Brakes On (Ukulele)

C
Driving through the long night

                                       Am
Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong

                  C   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                                   C
And I've got nothing except what I have on.

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

                                C
And it's hard to say you don't.

C
Trying to keep the mood right,

                                 Am
trying to steer the conversation from

                  C    C
The thing we've done.  She shuts up the ashtray

                                     Am                   C
and I say "it's a long way back now, hun."  And she just yawns.

       F                           G
And we might get lost someplace so desolate that

                    C              Am         F
no one where we're from would ever come.  But she's got the wheel.

    G                         C
And I've got to deal from now on.

It's hard to say you love someone

                                C
And it's hard to say you don't.

                    C          Am      F
But unless the moon falls tonight,

                      Am    F    C
unless continents collide.

                Am     F    G
Nothing's gonna make me

               Am    F   G
break from her side.

                             C
When you're driving with the brakes on.

It's hard to say you love someone

                               Am     C
And it's hard to say you don't.
