[Verse]

E             F#m        E F#m
She's wearing kid gloves
     E         F#m        E F#m
Will handle me carefully
       A
'Cause I've got a history
B
Cracked up and fragile
    C#m            B    A F#m
And bound to break easy
        E             F#m     E F#m
And if she could talk to me
     E             F#m        E F#m
What good would it do me
        A
It's no secret where I've been
    B
And I have worn so thin
    C#m         D          E
And she can see through me


[Chorus]

A E/G#  F#m       B
I don't believe a word of it
A           E/G#         F#m           B
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
D                          E
Now that her soft touch is gone
Bm            F#m        E   F#m E F#m
She's got her kid gloves on


[Verse 2]

E            F#m        E F#m
Here is what I've found
E             F#m        E F#m
New York just gets me down
         A
When the going got tough
B
I got a bus ticket
C#m        B         A F#m
Back to my home town
    E          F#m      E F#m
And all the way I dreamed
E                F#m     E F#m
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
        A
And the road wrapped around me
     B
The long lonely highway
       C#m       D         E
Gulped down by a Greyhound


[Chorus 2]

A E/G#  F#m       B
I don't believe a word of it
A           E/G#         F#m           B
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
D                          E
Now that her soft touch is gone
Bm            F#m        E   F#m E F#m
She's got her kid gloves on

[Chorus 3]

A E/G#  F#m       B
I don't believe a word of it
A           E/G#         F#m           B
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
A           E/G#              F#m      B
Won't come around 'cause I'll only get hurt and it
D                          E
Now that her soft touch is gone
D                     E
How could she ever go on
Bm            F#m        E   F#m E F#m
She's got her kid gloves on
