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.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MAJOR CHARLIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
