    G#maj        G#            G#maj G#
I’m driving home for Christmas.
            C#maj
Oh, I can’t wait
       C#6         C#maj C#6
To see those faces.
    G#maj        G#
I’m driving home for Christmas,
  G#maj G#
Yeah,

   But I will be there.
               Fm7
   I sing this song
Bbm7  Ebadd11  Eb    Cm7
   To pass the time away
   Fm7            C#6

Top to toe in tailbacks.
          C#maj          C#6   C#maj C#6
Oh, I got red lights all around,
    G#maj              G#
But soon there’ll be a freeway,
  G#maj 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,
Bbm7   Ebadd11  Eb    Cm7
   And feel you near me
