[Intro] G Em C G Dadd4add9/A G Em C G D Em [Verse]
                              Bm7add11 
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

                                  Bm7add11 
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]
                       Bm7add11 
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

                     Bm7add11 
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

C                                               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
