[Intro]
C  F
 
[Verse 1]
    C
I'm driving home for Christmas
            F                    F5
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
     C
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
         F
Well I'm moving down that line
         C        Am   Dm7
And it's been so long
    G
But I will be there
            Am7   Dm7
I sing this song
    G          C
To pass the time away
Am7          Dm7
Driving in my car
                   C
Driving home for Christmas
 
[Bridge]
           F
It's gonna take some time
 
But I'll get there
 
[Verse 2]
C
Top to toe in tailbacks
          F
Oh, I got red lights all around
    C
But soon there'll be a freeway, yea
       F
Get my feet on holy ground
 
[Chorus]
     Em       Am  Dm
So I sing for you
      G              Em7
Though you can't hear me
           Am7    Dm7
When I get through
     G             Em7
And feel you near me
Am            Dm7
Driving in my car
 
[Bridge]
                      C
I'm driving home for Christmas
        F
Driving home for Christmas
                        C
With a thousand memories
                   F
I take look at the driver next to me
              C
He's just the same
         F
Just the same

Driving home for Christmas
