-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
