I'm driving home for Christmas
A           Dmaj7             D6     Dmaj7
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces

I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
A           Dmaj7         D6     Dmaj7  D6
Well I'm moving down that line

But I will be there

But I'll get there

Top to toe in tailbacks
          Dmaj7       D6        Dmaj7  D6
Oh, I got red lights all around
    Amaj9              A        Amaj9  A
But soon there'll be a freeway
       Dmaj7        D6       Dmaj7  D6
Get my feet on holy ground
 
     C#m7      F#m7  Bm7
So I sing for you
       Esus4              C#m7
Though you can't hear me
           F#m7    Bm7
When I get through
       Esus4             C#m7
Oh and feel you near me

With a thousand memories
 
                   Dmaj7          D6  Dmaj7  D6
I take look at the driver next to me
              Amaj9
He's just the same
         Dmaj7
Just the same

Try: e-7---------5 B-5---------5 G-6---------6 D-6---------7 A-0---------0 E-x---------x For Amaj9 and A and: e-9---------7 B-10--------7 G-9---------7 D-x---------0 A-x---------x E-x---------x For Dmaj7 and D6 I think it works nicely

Learning this to impress a girl ;)
