[Intro 1]
[G][Dsus4][Gsus2][Em][C]
[Dsus4][Gsus2]
[G]I threw your keys in

[Verse 1]
[G]the water,
I looked back,
They'd [Em]frozen [C]hal[Em]fway
[C]down in [G]the ice[Dsus4].[Gsus2]
[G]They [Gsus4]froze up [G]so quickly,
the keys and their owners,
Even [Em]after the an[C]ger,
it all turned [G]silent, and
[C]The every[G]day turned [C]solitary,
[Dsus4]So we cam[G]e to Febru [Dsus4]ary.[G]
[Em][C][Csus2][C][Csus2][G][Dsus4][Gsus2][G]

[Verse 2]
First
we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year,
[C]Then we [Em]forgot [C]that we'd planted at [Dsus4]all,
[Gsus2]
[G]Then we forgot what
plants are altogether,
and [Em]I blamed you for my [G]fr[C]eezing
and for[G]getting [Dsus4]and
The [C]nights [G]were long
and cold [C]and scary,
[Dsus4]Can we live through Febru[G]
[Em]ary?
[C][Dsus4][Gsus2]
[G]

[Verse 3]
You know I think Christmas was
[Gsus2]a long re[G]d g[Gdim]lare,[G]
Shot up like a warning; we gave
[C]presents without cards,
[Dsus4]And then [G]the snow,
And then the snow came,
we were always out shoveling,
And we'd drop to sleep exhausted,
Then we'd wake [C]up,
and it[Dsus4]s snowing.[G]
[Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[G]And February was so
long that it lasted into March
[Em]And found us walki[D]ng a pat[Dsus4]h[C]
alone to[Dsus4]gether.[G]
You stopped and pointed and you said,
"That's a crocus,"
And I [Em]said, "What's [Dsus4]a crocus?" and [C]you said,
[Dsus4]"It's a flower,"
[Gsus2]I tried t[G]o remember, but I said,[Gsus2]
[D]"What's a flower?"[Dsus4]
You [D]said, [Em]"I still love [C]you."
[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][Gsus2][G]

[Verse 5]
The leaves were turning as
we drove to the hardware store,
[C]My [Em]new lover made [G]me k[C]ey
s to the [Dsus4]house,[Gsus2]
[G]And when we got home,
we just started chopping wood,
Because [Em]you never know
[G]how nex[C]t y[G]ear will be,
And we'll gather all our arms can [C]carry,
[Dsus4]I have lost to February.[G][Em]

[Outro 1]
