February-

G5 Dadd11/G

I threw your keys in the water, I looked back,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

Theyd frozen halfway down in the ice.

G5 Dadd11/G

They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

Even after the anger, it all turned silent, and

Gsus2/E

The everyday turned solitary,

Gsus2 Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

So we came to February.

G5 Dadd11/G

First we forgot where wed planted those bulbs last year,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

Then we forgot that wed planted at all,

G5 Dadd11/G

Then we forgot what plants are altogether,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

and I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and

Gsus2/E

The nights were long and cold and scary,

Gsus2 Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

Can we live through February?

G5 Dadd11/G

And I think Christmas was a long red glare,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards,

G5 Dadd11/G

And then the snow, And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

And wed drop to sleep exhausted, Then we'd wake up, and its snowing.

G5 Dadd11/G Em

And February was so long that it lasted into March

Gsus2/E Gsus2

And found us walking a path alone together.

G5 Dadd11/G

You stopped and pointed and you said, "Thats a crocus,"

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

And I said, "Whats a crocus?" and you said, "Its a flower,"

G5 Dadd11/G

I tried to remember, but I said, "Whats a flower?"

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

You said, "I still love you."

G5 Dadd11/G Em

The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store,

Gsus2/E Gsus2

My new lover made me keys to the house,

G5 Dadd11/G

And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

Because you never know how next year will be,

G5 Dadd11/G

And well gather all our arms can carry,

Em Gsus2/E Gsus2

I have lost to February.
