Intro: 
  Dmaj9 D | Dmaj9 D

    Dmaj9        D             Dmaj9 D
I’m driving home for Christmas.
            Gmaj
Oh, I can’t wait
       G6          Gmaj G6
To see those faces.
    Dmaj9        D
I’m driving home for Christmas,
  Dmaj9 D
Yeah,
          Gmaj        G6        Gmaj G6
Well, I’m moving down that line.

            F#m7    Bm7
   And it’s been so long,
Em7    Aadd11 A/G  F#m7
   But I will be there.
               Bm7
   I sing this song
Em7   Aadd11   A/G   F#m7
   To pass the time away
   Bm7     Bm7/A  G6 G6/F#
   Driving in my car,

           Gmaj           G6
It’s gonna take some time,

But I’ll get there,

Top to toe in tailbacks.
          Gmaj           G6    Gmaj G6
Oh, I got red lights all around,
    Dmaj9              D
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  Dmaj9 D
Yeah,
       Gmaj    G6          Gmaj G6
Get my feet on holy ground.

        F#m7     Bm7
   So I sing for you,
Em7       Aadd11    A/G   F#m7
   Though you can’t hear me
              Bm7
   When I get through,
Em7    Aadd11   A/G   F#m7
   And feel you near me
   Bm7     Bm7/A  G6 G6/F#
   Driving in my car,
        Em7     A7
   I am driving home
       Dmaj9    D Dmaj9 D

With a thousand memories.
                     Gmaj
I take look at the driver
        G6 Gmaj G6
