    Bmaj9        B             Bmaj9 B
I’m driving home for Christmas.
            Emaj
Oh, I can’t wait
       E6          Emaj E6
To see those faces.
    Bmaj9        B
I’m driving home for Christmas,
  Bmaj9 B
Yeah,
          Emaj        E6        Emaj E6
Well, I’m moving down that line.

            Ebm7    G#m7
   And it’s been so long,
C#m7   F#add11 F#/E Ebm7
   But I will be there.
               G#m7
   I sing this song
C#m7  F#add11  F#/E  Ebm7
   To pass the time away
   G#m7    G#m7/F# E6 E6/Eb
   Driving in my car,

           Emaj           E6
It’s gonna take some time,

Top to toe in tailbacks.
          Emaj           E6    Emaj E6
Oh, I got red lights all around,
    Bmaj9              B
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  Bmaj9 B
Yeah,
       Emaj    E6          Emaj E6
Get my feet on holy ground.

        Ebm7     G#m7
   So I sing for you,
C#m7      F#add11   F#/E  Ebm7
   Though you can’t hear me
              G#m7
   When I get through,
C#m7   F#add11  F#/E  Ebm7
   And feel you near me
   G#m7    G#m7/F# E6 E6/Eb
   Driving in my car,
        C#m7    F#7
   I am driving home
       Bmaj9    B Bmaj9 B
   For Christmas.

With a thousand memories.

I take look at the driver
        E6 Emaj E6
