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.
