[Intro] D G D G [Verse 1]
         D
Midnight driver, Why you driving off so fast

        G
Did you mean it when you said that this goodbye would be your last

             D
And midnight driver Tears are streaming through the glow

   G
Of dashboard lights and second chances you might never know

        Em                            G
And you drive like there won’t be no tomorrow

    Em                                    G
But why not face tomorrows problem tonight
[Chorus]
         D
Will you turn around right now and talk it through with him

            G
Or will you throw away the life you built without looking back again

         D
Will you keep on burning rubber down I35

           G
Or hit the brakes and take the turnaround, try to keep your love alive and say

          Em                                      A
“Baby I’m sorry, I want to make this right, don’t let me stay a midnight driver tonight”
[Instrumental] D G [Verse 2] N.C. Back home he paces back and forth under porch lights still turned on
   G
Rehearsing all of the right words just in case that you come home

          D
as you’re crossing through the state line you turn up the radio

          G
trying to drown out all of the regrets of leaving him alone

        Em                           G
And you drive like there won’t be no tomorrow

    Em                             G
But why not face tomorrows problem tonight
[Chorus]
         D
Will you turn around right now and talk it through with him

            G
Or will you throw away the life you built without looking back again

         D
Will you keep on burning rubber down I35

           G
Or hit the brakes and take the turnaround, try to keep your love alive and say

          Em                                      A                               D
“Baby I’m sorry, I want to make this right, don’t let me stay a midnight driver tonight”
{Bridge]
G
You’re hurting far apart

A
but you’ll hurt if you’re together

    D
You hope that if you just keep going

       G
you’ll convince yourself that you’re better

       G
Better off without the sleepless nights

A
thinking about how to work it

Bm             A                        G
out but in the back of your mind you’re thinking, and wondering
[Chorus]
         D
Will you turn around right now and talk it through with him

            G
Or will you throw away the life you built without looking back again

         D
Will you keep on burning rubber down I35

           G
Or hit the brakes and take the turnaround, try to keep your love alive and say

          Em                                      A                               Bm   A  G F#
“Baby I’m sorry, I want to make this right, don’t let me stay a midnight driver tonight”

          Em                                      A
“Baby I’m sorry, I want to make this right, don’t let me stay a midnight driver tonight”
