🎸 Intro:

G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD


🎸 Verse 1:
G+G             D MajorD
 I threw your keys in the water
I looked back
    E minorEm  G+G    C majorC      D MajorD
They'd frozen halfway down in the ice
G+G               D MajorD
 They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners
   E minorEm    G+G     C majorC     D MajorD
Even after the anger, it all turned silent and
  A minorAm
The everyday turned solitary
D MajorD           E minorEm G+G A minorAm D MajorD
 So we came to February

🎸 Verse 2:
G+G             D MajorD
 First we forgot where we planted those bulbs last year
   E minorEm    G+G       C majorC     D MajorD
And then we forgot that we'd planted at all
G+G              D MajorD
 Then we forgot what plants are altogether
  E minorEm   G+G     C majorC        D MajorD
And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and
  A minorAm
The nights were long and cold and scary
D MajorD              E minorEm  G+G  A minorAm D MajorD
 Can we live through February?


🎸 Bridge:
G+G                 D MajorD
 You know I think Christmas was a long red glare
   E minorEm             A minorAm        D MajorD
Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards
       G+G
And then the snow
                D MajorD
And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling
     E minorEm
And we'd drop to sleep exhausted
     A minorAm        D MajorD
And we'd wake up and it's snowing

🎸 Verse 3:
G+G          D MajorD            E minorEm
 And February was so long that it lasted into March
       E minorEm    C majorC      D MajorD
And found us walking a path alone together
G+G                D MajorD
 You stopped and pointed and you said "That's a crocus"
   E minorEm               C majorC      D MajorD
And I said "What's a crocus " and you said "It's a flower"
G+G             D MajorD
 I tried to remember but I said "What's a flower "
     E minorEm      A minorAm  D MajorD
You said "I still love you"


🎸 Verse 4:
G+G               D MajorD
 The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store
E minorEm    G+G       C majorC      D MajorD
 My new lover made me keys to the house
G+G               D MajorD
 And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood
      E minorEm  G+G    C majorC       D MajorD
'Cause you never know how next year will be
     A minorAm
And we'll gather all our arms can carry
D MajorD           E minorEm     G+G  A minorAm D MajorD G+G
 I have lost to February
