Am                      D
I drove past you’re town today
Am                      D
Though I never left the motorway

F               G
When I saw the sign
F               G
When I saw the sign
C
I thought about you

Am                      D
And I found myself so near
Am                      D
To someone that I hold so dear
F                       G
But I was strong enough to steer
F                       G
I was strong enough to steer
C
Around you

Am                              G#
If I took the turn off for your town
C                       F               Em
Wouldn’t be that hard to track you down
Dm                      Fm
Or to think of an excuse
Fm              G
For me to be there

Am
I could call you first
G#
let you make the choice
C                           F
Would it be enough just to hear your voice
Dm                      Fm
Or should I just arrive
Fm
And surprise you

Am                      G#
When I drove past your town today
C                               F
I recalled all the things that you used to say
Dm                              Fm
And I wondered why I never had
Fm      G
An answer
Am                              G#
When you said it was me that could not cope
C                       F
and I’d never trade comfort for hope
Dm
Then I did
Fm                      G
I could see I scared you

Am                      D
No but I’d never ask
Am                         D
We both know that I’ve got too much class
F               G
When I saw the sign
F               G
When I saw the sign
G               C
I thought about you

Lead in to the end of the song with a heavy strum riff.
C F G B F C

Am                      D
Did you feel something near
Am                      D
Something familiar, something so Dear
F                       G
Something strange at the end of the day
F                                   G
That took your thought patterns and swept them away
F                                   G
Did you look out the window to the outskirts of town
F                                   G
Where there’s only a road and the Sun going down
F                                       G
Did that Sun blind your eyes so that you could not see
F                       G
Life passing you by at illegal speeds
F                                       G
Did you remember something you weren’t brave enough to do
F                       G
Well right at that moment
                        C
I thought about you
