-VERSE-
Bm
Wandering lonely through the snow streets of New York
C Am D Em
I stumbled on a thrift store that sold postcards by the yard
Bm
I bought a mile and shipped them home so I could read
C Am D
Ten thousand ten-word tragedies from lives these strangers lead
Am D
To remind myself the things I need
-CHORUS-
G
'Cause I once wrote you love songs
Em
You never fell in love
C G D
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
-POST-CHORUS-
RIFF 1
You left me feeling like
RIFF 1 Em
We'd never really been in love
-VERSE-
Bm
Huddled holed up in my place in Holloway
C Am D Em
I wondered if you'd ever heard those songs I used to play
Bm
Every one a gift for you and in return
C Am D
You gave a pair of hand knit mittens to keep my fingers warm
Am D
So I could play more ignored love songs
-CHORUS-
G
I once wrote you love songs
Em
You never fell in love
C G D
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
Em
I once wrote you postcards
Am
You never wrote back
G G D
Promised me you would and I'm still waiting for that
-POST-CHORUS-
RIFF 2
You left me feeling like
RIFF 2
We'd never really been in love
RIFF 2
Don't wanna fit like mittens
RIFF 2 G Em
I wanna fit like gloves
C
Wanna fit like gloves
G D
I wanna fit like gloves
G
I once wrote you love songs
Em
You never fell in love
C G
We used to fit like mittens but never like gloves
D~
Never like gloves
