-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
