D
I still freeze when I look at these
                                G
Faded photographs from February last
             F#
Twenty second or twenty third
Em                       A
Shared some dumplings, whispered some words

We had two
Maybe three bucks saved between us
Sat in blankets on the floor
Used to wish for money in rain
A west side apartment, paper plane

Chorus:
D    A
Oooo oooh
          D
Then you left in May
                              G
Took the wrong long way back home
     F#       B
Wish I'd known
        Em F#m G        C
That I had all I could want
             Em
In our tiny apartment
            A            D
Above the Chinese restaurant

Street sounds blistered with neon lights
Heard the neighbors snoring every other night
Eating dumplings from next door
Finish 'em up, they'd give us some more

Didn't realize we had it all
Even when the roof came caving in that fall
Oh, I loved you more than you know
Covered in flakes of crystal white snow

Chorus
