Em A
I drove past you’re town today
Em 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
Em A
And I found myself so near
Em 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
Em D#
If I took the turn off for your town
G C Bm
Wouldn’t be that hard to track you down
Am Cm
Or to think of an excuse
Cm D
For me to be there
Em
I could call you first
D#
let you make the choice
G C
Would it be enough just to hear your voice
Am Cm
Or should I just arrive
Cm
And surprise you
Em D#
When I drove past your town today
G C
I recalled all the things that you used to say
Am Cm
And I wondered why I never had
Cm D
An answer
Em D#
When you said it was me that could not cope
G C
and I’d never trade comfort for hope
Am
Then I did
Cm D
I could see I scared you
Em A
No but I’d never ask
Em 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 F# C G
Em A
Did you feel something near
Em 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
G C D F# C C
