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