Wandering lonely through the sBm7add11now streets of New York
I sCtumbled on a thrift store that sold pAmostcards by the yardD  Em  
I bought a mile and shipped them hBm7add11ome so I could read
Ten tChousand ten-word tragedies from lAmives these strangers leadD  
To reAmmind myself the thDings I need
[Chorus]
'Cause GI once wrote you love songs
You nEmever fell in love
We uCsed to fit like mittens, but never like GglovesD  
[Post-Chorus]

We'd never really been in love
[Verse]
Huddled holed up in my Bm7add11place in Holloway
I wCondered if you'd ever heard those sAmongs I used to playD  Em  
Every one a gift for Bm7add11you and in return
You gCave a pair of hand knit mittens to kAmeep my fingers wDarm
So AmI could play more Dignored love songs
[Chorus]
GI once wrote you love songs
You nEmever fell in love
We uCsed to fit like mittens, but never like GgloDves

AmYou never wrote back
CPromised me you would and I'm still waiting for GthDat
