| | | | |-/// |-///
INTRO: [Play riff twice - fairly fast pace]
A
Headlight beam cuts through the night
Cm E D
Like the point of this knife you drove through my heart.
A
Your goodbye words ringing in my ears,
Cm E D
The ones I never thought I`d hear, are tearing me apart.
Fm E D - E A
Now I`m racing down this highway trying to outrun the wind;
Fm E D - E A
Trying to make some sense of what I can`t comprehend.
Fm E D D
And I`ll keep on driving girl, `till I run out of road,
D D E E
Or I fall off the edge of this world.
CHORUS: A A
I`m gonna drive you out of my mind.
Fm Fm
I`m gonna leave this memory behind.
E D - E
If it takes ten thousand miles, I`ll keep driving day and night
D - E[stop] [play riff once]
Till I drive you out of my mind.
A lovers` moon is taunting me
With every mile I put between you and these broken dreams.
I slam my foot down to the floor
Trying hard to push for more, but still - your face I see.
I`m riding that thin red line out on the edge of control;
Trying to get a grasp on what I can`t get a hold.
And I`ll keep on driving girl, `till I run out of road,
Or I fall off the edge of this world.
[CHORUS, then play RIFF twice]
Fm E D D
I`ll keep on driving girl, `till I run out of road,
D D E E
Or I fall off the edge of this world. [into CHORUS]
OUTRO: |A E |Fm Cm |A E |Fm Cm |E |E
Gonna drive you out of my mind.
[Repeat last line once, then repeat riff and fade]

Please send any corrections directly to me.
I`ve tried to write out the riff as simply as possible, with representing
a downstrum, / representing an upstrum, and | representing the start of a
measure. It`s pretty close to what`s on the CD.
In the verses and chorus, each letter usually represents two measures of
music unless the letters are connected by a hyphen.
The exception is for the verse starting with Now I`m racing down...
and the half-verse before the last chorus. These are only one measure for
each letter unless connected by a hyphen.
*But remember, the tempo is very fast.
