Intro: D Dmaj7

Verse:
D
I still freeze when I look at these
                       Dmaj7    Gmaj7
Faded photographs from February last
             Gb
Twenty second or twenty third
E                      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
                 Gb
Used to wish for money in rain
  E                    A        G
a west side apartment, paper plane

Chorus:
D    A
Oooo oooh
        D        Dmaj7
Then you left in may
                        Gmaj7
Took the wrong long way back home
     Gb        B
Wish I’d known
       Em  Gbm 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
                 Gb
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
                Gb
Oh, I loved you more than you know
Em             A
Covered in the crystal white snow

Chorus:
D    A
Oooo oooh
        D        Dmaj7
Then you left in may
                        Gmaj7
Took the wrong long way back home
     Gb        B
Wish I’d known
       Em  Gbm G    C
That I had all I could want
            Em
In our tiny apartment
      A                 D
Above the Chinese restaurant

Biography

Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) is an LA-based singer, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose transportative jazz songs about young love and self-discovery are filled with wonder and wanderlust. The Icelandic Chinese artist grew up playing cello and piano, inspired by her violinist mother, and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father’s records.
