VERSE:
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
Hell it's been a very long time G* A
You wear it well B -------2--
Em D/F# G* A G -------2--
A little old fashioned but that's all right D -------2--
GOING FROM THE G CHORD
TO THE A CHORD.
VERSE:
Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know
That you wear it well
Em D/F# *G A
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my
VERSE:
Remember them basement parties,
Your brother's karate
The all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical views
Haven't left a mark on you,
You wear it well
Em D/F# *G A
A little out of time but I don't mind
BREAK:
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Tryin' to get a letter through
INSTRUMENTAL:

Em D/F# *G A
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
VERSE:
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You made me feel a millionaire
And you wear it well
Em D/F# *G A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you, no no
VERSE:
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh
And I wear it well
Em D/F# *G A
I don't object if you call collect
BREAK:
'Cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you
