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)

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
