-VERSE-
               B minorBm
Wandering lonely through the snow streets of New York
  C majorC                  A minorAm          D MajorD E minorEm
I stumbled on a thrift store that sold postcards by the yard
                 B minorBm
I bought a mile and shipped them home so I could read
   C majorC                A minorAm            D MajorD
Ten thousand ten-word tragedies from lives these strangers lead
   A minorAm        D MajorD
To remind myself the things I need


-CHORUS-
    G+G
'Cause I once wrote you love songs
   E minorEm
You never fell in love
  C majorC                    G+G   D MajorD
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves


-POST-CHORUS-
RIFF 1
You left me feeling like
RIFF 1           E minorEm
We'd never really been in love

-VERSE-
            B minorBm
Huddled holed up in my place in Holloway
  C majorC                 A minorAm         D MajorD E minorEm
I wondered if you'd ever heard those songs I used to play
           B minorBm
Every one a gift for you and in return
   C majorC                  A minorAm       D MajorD
You gave a pair of hand knit mittens to keep my fingers warm
  A minorAm        D MajorD
So I could play more ignored love songs


-CHORUS-
G+G
I once wrote you love songs
   E minorEm
You never fell in love
  C majorC                    G+G D MajorD
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves

E minorEm
I once wrote you postcards
A minorAm
You never wrote back
G+G                        G+G D MajorD
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+G   E minorEm
I wanna fit like gloves
        C majorC
Wanna fit like gloves
         G+G   D MajorD
I wanna fit like gloves

G+G
I once wrote you love songs
  E minorEm
You never fell in love
  C majorC                    G+G
We used to fit like mittens but never like gloves
      D~
Never like gloves
