A#m D#
I drove past you’re town today
A#m D#
Though I never left the motorway
F# G#
When I saw the sign
F# G#
When I saw the sign
C#
I thought about you
A#m D#
And I found myself so near
A#m D#
To someone that I hold so dear
F# G#
But I was strong enough to steer
F# G#
I was strong enough to steer
C#
Around you
A#m A
If I took the turn off for your town
C# F# Fm
Wouldn’t be that hard to track you down
D#m F#m
Or to think of an excuse
F#m G#
For me to be there
A#m
I could call you first
A
let you make the choice
C# F#
Would it be enough just to hear your voice
D#m F#m
Or should I just arrive
F#m
And surprise you
A#m A
When I drove past your town today
C# F#
I recalled all the things that you used to say
D#m F#m
And I wondered why I never had
F#m G#
An answer
A#m A
When you said it was me that could not cope
C# F#
and I’d never trade comfort for hope
D#m
Then I did
F#m G#
I could see I scared you
A#m D#
No but I’d never ask
A#m D#
We both know that I’ve got too much class
F# G#
When I saw the sign
F# G#
When I saw the sign
G# C#
I thought about you
Lead in to the end of the song with a heavy strum riff.
C# F# G# C F# C#
A#m D#
Did you feel something near
A#m D#
Something familiar, something so Dear
F# G#
Something strange at the end of the day
F# G#
That took your thought patterns and swept them away
F# G#
Did you look out the window to the outskirts of town
F# G#
Where there’s only a road and the Sun going down
F# G#
Did that Sun blind your eyes so that you could not see
F# G#
Life passing you by at illegal speeds
F# G#
Did you remember something you weren’t brave enough to do
F# G#
Well right at that moment
C#
I thought about you
Same exit riff
