A5                  D5
I drove past you?re town today
A5                  D5
Though I never left the motorway

F5            G5
When I saw the sign
F5            G5
When I saw the sign
C5
I thought about you

A5                  D5
And I found myself so near
A5                  D5
To someone that I hold so dear
F5                  G5
But I was strong enough to steer
F5                  G5
I was strong enough to steer
C5
Around you

A5                        G#5
If I took the turn off for your town
C5                  F5            E5
Wouldn?t be that hard to track you down
D5                  F5
Or to think of an excuse
F5            G5
For me to be there

A5
I could call you first
G#5
let you make the choice
C5                      F5
Would it be enough just to hear your voice
D5                  F5
Or should I just arrive
F5
And surprise you

A5                  G#5
When I drove past your town today
C5                        F5
I recalled all the things that you used to say
D5                        F5
And I wondered why I never had
F5      G5
An answer
A5                        G#5
When you said it was me that could not cope
C5                  F5
and I?d never trade comfort for hope
D5
Then I did
F5                  G5
I could see I scared you

A5                  D5
No but I?d never ask
A5                     D5
We both know that I?ve got too much class
F5            G5
When I saw the sign
F5            G5
When I saw the sign
G5            C5
I thought about you

Lead in to the end of the song with a heavy strum riff.

A5                  D5
Did you feel something near
A5                  D5
Something familiar, something so Dear
F5                  G5
Something strange at the end of the day
F5                            G5
That took your thought patterns and swept them away
F5                            G5
Did you look out the window to the outskirts of town
F5                            G5
Where there?s only a road and the Sun going down
F5                              G5
Did that Sun blind your eyes so that you could not see
F5                  G5
Life passing you by at illegal speeds
F5                              G5
Did you remember something you weren?t brave enough to do
F5                  G5
Well right at that moment
                  C5
I thought about you

Same exit riff
