The Things We Forget
Written by Connie Harrington & Wendell Mobley
Recorded by Mark Wills

Intro.:  | (G) | (D/F#) | (Em) | (D/F#) | x 2

I forgot (G) how much I love (D/F#) that smell of the dirt (Em) fresh off the plow (D/F#)
That tail-(G)gate rattle, tires (D/F#) on gravel, I (Em)sure do love that sound (D/F#)

And I can't (G) believe I spend (D/F#) so many years (Em) running from this (D/F#)
It's slow (G) and it's small and it's life (D/F#) outa crawl, but it's (Em) everything I miss (G)

(Chorus)
Where we come (D) from, where were go-(A)in'
How to live (Bm) right here in the mo-(G)ment
How to love (D) somebody, let her love (A) you back
When to let (Bm)her go and cry, when to light-(G)en up and laugh
(Em)Slow it all down and take a long, deep breath (C)
(G) Man, the things we forget | (D/F#) | (Em) | (D/F#)

Well, I pulled (G) off that old riv-(D/F#)er road and I looked (Em) back at my life (D/F#)
At the long (G) lost friends and the (D/F#)might-have-been loves (Em) I told goodbye (D/F#)

Then I laid (G) back on my truck (D/F#) hood and I pon-(Em)dered why were here (D/F#)
If you (G)stare long enough at the heav-(D/F#)ens above, man, (Em) all gets (G)crystal clear

(Chorus)
Where we come (D) from, where were go-(A)in'
How to live (Bm) right here in the mo-(G)ment
How to love (D) somebody, let her love (A) you back
When to let (Bm)her go and cry, when to light-(G)en up and laugh
(Em)Slow it all down and take a long, deep breath (C)
(G) Man, the things we forget

Inst.:  | (C) | (C) | (A) | (A) | (C) | (C) | (Em) | (C) | (C)

(Chorus)
Where we come (D) from, where were go-(A)in'
How to live (Bm) right here in the mo-(G)ment
How to love (D) somebody, let her love (A) you back
When to let (Bm)her go and cry, when to light-(G)en up and laugh
(Em)Slow it all down and take a long, deep breath (C)
(G) Man, the things we for-(D)get | (A) | (Bm) |

(Tag)
(G) Man, the things we for-(D)get | (A) | (Bm) |
(G) Yeah, the things we for-(D)get
