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