Looking at [C]myself through [G]these newfound [D]eyes

I forgot to [C]love you, [G]love you, [D]love you[Em]
[verse 3]
[C]Radio’s playing [G]songs for me and [D]you
[C]“Chasing Cars” reminds me of [G]nights in your [D]room
Drinking [C]wine under your [G]window, back when [D]life was so damn [Em]simple
How the [C]hell did I end [G]up losing [D]you? [D]Mmm
[chorus]
Is it [C]too late to turn [Em]around? I’m [D]already halfway out [Em]of town

If I [C][Em]come [D]around, would you [Em]even [C]care?
