Del Amitri es una banda de rock británica formada en Glasgow, Escocia, en 1982. Fue fundada por su vocalista y bajista Justin Currie después de poner un anuncio en una tienda de música en busca de músicos. Su formación inicial estaba formada por Currie (bajo y voz), Iain Harvie (guitarra), Bryan Tolland (guitarra) y Paul Tyagi (batería). Currie y Harvie han sido los únicos miembros originales que se han mantenido en la formación hasta el presente. Además, ambos son los principales compositores de la banda.

Del Amitri Driving With The Brakes On Chord Progression by [email protected] 11.6.8
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
Capo III
CMaj7 :X32000 C :X32010 Asus2 :X02200 Am :X02210 F :133211 G :320033
INTRO/VERSE/CHORUS: Alternate between CMaj7 and C as well as Asus2 and Am (index finger).
C Driving through the long night Am trying to figure who's right and who's wrong. C Now the cat(?) has gone. Am I sit belted up tight. She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on. FG And I might be more a man if I stopped this in it's tracks AmC and said come on, let's go home. F But she's got the wheel, GAmF and I've got nothing except what I have on.
CHORUS: C When you're driving with the brakes on. Am When you're swimming with you're boots on. FG It's hard to say you love someone, AmFG and it's hard to say you don't.
BRIDGE:
CAmF But unless the moon falls tonight, AmFC unless continents collide. AmFG Nothin's gonna make me AmFG break from her side.
LAST CHORUS: End on C, not G
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 hon'", and she just yawns. And we might get lost someplace so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come. But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on.
