– 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 Em

– 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 –
