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