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