Intro D Em7(1) D G/B X2

D Em7(1) D G/B
She's wearing kid gloves
D Em7(1) D G/B
Will handle me carefully
G A7
Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
Bm A *G to G/F# Em7(2)
And bound to break easy

(* don't play the full bar, hit the F# note of the G/F# chord,
on the E string, on the last beat and go straight to Em7)

D Em7(1) D G/B
And if she could talk to me
D Em7(1) D G/B
What good would it do me
G A7
It's no secret where I've been and I have worn so thin
Bm Cadd9 (riff 1) D
And she can see through me

Chorus 1:
G G/F# Em A
I don't believe a word of it
G G/F# Em A
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Cadd9 D
Now that her soft touch is gone
Am
She's got her kid gloves on (riff 2)
(riff 2 repeats from the end of the first chorus more or less
to the end of the song but its down in the mix and hard to tell)

D Em7(1) D G/B X2

D Em7(1) D G/B
Here is what I've found
D Em7(1) D G/B
New York just gets me down
G A7
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Bm A G to G/F# Em7(2)
Back to my home town

D Em7(1) D G/B
And all the way I dreamed
D Em7(1) D G/B
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
G A7
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Bm Cadd9 (riff 1) D
Gulped down by a Greyhound

(Chorus 1)

(Solo over chords for verse, use Emaj scale)

Chorus 2:
G G/F# Em A
I don't believe a word of it
G G/F# Em A
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
G G/F# Em A
Won't come around cause I'll only get hurt and it
Cadd9 D
Now that her soft touch is gone
Cadd9 D
How could she ever go on
Am D
Without her kid gloves on

Repeat D Em7(1) D G/B X6 and end on D
