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