I’m driving home for Christmas.

Oh, I can’t wait
       C#6         C#maj C#6
To see those faces.

Top to toe in tailbacks.
          C#maj          C#6   C#maj C#6
Oh, I got red lights all around,

But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  G#maj9 G#
Yeah,
       C#maj   C#6         C#maj C#6
Get my feet on holy ground.

        Cm7      Fm7

   Though you can’t hear me
              Fm7
   When I get through,

   And feel you near me
