[Verse 1]
E                    B                   F#            F#
It’s been seven minutes now since I’ve lost my way
E                               B                F#                F#
It doesn’t seem that long but my whole world has changed
E                               B                F#                G#m
It’s in all the little things, when you smile, now it stings
E                B                F#                F#
It’s been seven minutes since I lost the girl of my dreams
E                B                F#                F#
It’s been half an hour now since I dropped you home
E                               B                F#                F#
And I’m driving past the places we both know
E                                B
Past the bar that we first kissed
F#                               G#m
And that movie that we missed
E                B                F#                               F#
‘Cause we were hanging out in the parking lot
E                               B
Now I sink a little deeper, think a little clearer
G#m                                              F#
Looking at myself through these new-found eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
E                               B
Is it too late to turn around?
F#                               G#m
I’m already halfway out of town
E                                              B
Now I know how I let you down
F#                               F#
Oh, I finally figured it out

[Chorus]
E                F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you

[Verse 2]
E B F# F#
Radio’s playing songs for me and you
E B F# F#
“Chasing Cars” reminds me of nights in your room
E B F# G#m
Drinking wine under your window, back when love was so damn simple
E B F# F#
How the hell did I end up losing you?

[Pre-Chorus]
E B
Is it too late to turn around?
F# G#m
I’m already halfway out of town
E B
Now I know how I let you down
F# F#
Oh, I finally figured it out

[Chorus]
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m (one strum)
I forgot to love you, love you

[Bridge]
F# E B
If I came back now would you still be there?
B E F# E B
If I come around would you even care?
B E F# E B
If I came back now would you still be there?
B E F# E B
If I come around would you even care?

[Pre-Chorus]
E B
Is it too late to turn around?
F# G#m
I’m already halfway out of town
E B
Now I know how I let you down
F# F#
Oh, I finally figured it out

[Chorus]
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you, love you
E F# G#m G#m
I forgot to love you, love you
