RIFF: | A E | F#m C#m | A E | F#m C#m |E |E
| \ \ | \ \ | \ \ | \ \ |\-\/\/\/ |\-\/\/\/
INTRO: [Play riff twice - fairly fast pace]
A
Headlight beam cuts through the night
C#m E D
Like the point of this knife you drove through my heart.
A
Your goodbye words ringing in my ears,
C#m E D
The ones I never thought I'd hear, are tearing me apart.
F#m E D - E A
Now I'm racing down this highway trying to outrun the wind;
F#m E D - E A
Trying to make some sense of what I can't comprehend.
F#m 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.
F#m F#m
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]
F#m 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 |F#m C#m |A E |F#m C#m |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.
