[Intro]
D Dmaj7
[Verse]
D
I still freeze when I look at these
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Faded photographs from February last
F#
Twenty second or twenty third
Em A
Shared some dumplings, whispered some words
Dmaj7
We had two, maybe three bucks saved
D Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Between us sat in blankets on the floor
F#
Used to wish for money in rain
Em A G
A west side apartment, paper plane
[Chorus]
D A
Oooo oooh
D Dmaj7
Then you left in May
D Gmaj7
Took the wrong long way back home
F#
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
[Verse]
Dmaj7
Street sounds blistered with neon lights
D Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Heard the neighbors snoring every other night
F#
Eating dumplings from next door
Em A
Finish them up, they'd give us some more
Dmaj7
Didn't realize we had it all
D Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Even when the roof came caving in that fall
F#
Oh, I loved you more than you know
Em A
Covered in flakes of crystal white snow
[Ulangi Chorus]
[Outro]
D Dmaj7
