Intro D Em G D (x3) 

Verse 
D                Em      
Drove all night into the falling snow. 
G 
And in the morning I hit the coast. 
D                   Em      
Don't know where - just where I'm going to. 
G 
It's a vacation from you. 
D                Em 
Drove all night into the falling snow. 
G   
And in the morning I don't go home. 
D                    Em 
What's the point if you're not there 
G                 
Don't want to drink my life away or sleep alone. 

Em               G 
These old tires are long passed worn. 
Em                G 
It won't be long until they're gone. 
C                          G                 
Got to keep on moving on - got to get you off my mind. 
Em                                 C 
Got to help me off your chain.  Help me find myself again.

Verse 
D                  Em 
Drove too long - through the pouring rain. 
G  
Drove through the sun shining - then back again. 
D                 Em    
Every mile I get further from my past.  
G 
Gonna drive my life away.  I'm gonna - gonna make these miles last.
