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