Lyrics and Music by Chris Rea


Intro: 
  C#maj9 C# | C#maj9 C#
  F#maj F#6 | F#maj F#6  } ×2

    C#maj9       C#            C#maj9 C#
I’m driving home for Christmas.
            F#maj
Oh, I can’t wait
       F#6         F#maj F#6
To see those faces.
    C#maj9       C#
I’m driving home for Christmas,
  C#maj9 C#
Yeah,
          F#maj       F#6       F#maj F#6
Well, I’m moving down that line.

            Fm7     Bbm7
   And it’s been so long,
Ebm7   G#add11 G#/F# Fm7
   But I will be there.
               Bbm7
   I sing this song
Ebm7  G#add11  G#/F# Fm7
   To pass the time away
   Bbm7    Bbm7/G# F#6 F#6/F
   Driving in my car,
   Ebm7    G#7      C#maj9   C# C#maj9 C#

           F#maj          F#6
It’s gonna take some time,
             F#maj F#6
But I’ll get there,
C#maj9     C#           C#maj9 C#
Top to toe in tailbacks.
          F#maj          F#6   F#maj F#6
Oh, I got red lights all around,
    C#maj9             C#
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  C#maj9 C#
Yeah,
       F#maj   F#6         F#maj F#6
Get my feet on holy ground.

        Fm7      Bbm7
   So I sing for you,
Ebm7      G#add11   G#/F# Fm7
   Though you can’t hear me
              Bbm7
   When I get through,
Ebm7   G#add11  G#/F# Fm7
   And feel you near me
   Bbm7    Bbm7/G# F#6 F#6/F
   Driving in my car,
        Ebm7    G#7
   I am driving home
       C#maj9   C# C#maj9 C#
   For Christmas.

Driving home for Christmas
     F#6             C#maj9 C# C#maj9 C#
With a thousand memories.
                     F#maj
I take look at the driver
        F#6 F#maj F#6
Next to me,
               C#maj9 | C#maj9
He’s just the same,

Just the same.
