[Verse 1]
D     G
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
       A                           D
but to settle down and write you a line
       G
I been meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota
A                           D
Hell, it's been a very long time
            A
You wear it well
  Em         D/F#          G          A
A little old fashioned but that's all right

Verse 2:
D       G
 Well I  suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
      A                           D
Or he  wouldn't get in touch with  me
   G
Oh  I ain't begging or losing my head
  A                    D
I  sure do want you to  know 
                 A
That you wear it  well
Em             D            G        A            
 There ain't a  lady in the  land so  fine, oh my (A)

Verse 3:
D              G
 Remember them  basement parties, Your brother's karate
    A                      D
The  all day rock and roll  shows
     G
Them  homesick blues and radical views
A                       D
 Haven't left a mark on  you, 
            A
You wear it  well
  Em             D         G        A   
A  little out of  time but  I don't  mind (A)

|Chorus:
|D               G                         
| But I ain't forgetting that you were once (D) mine
|      G                     D
|But I  blew it without even  tryin'
|        G
|Now I'm  eatin' my heart out
|A                       D       
| Tryin' to get a letter  through (D)

 Since you've been  gone it's hard  to carry (A) on

Verse 3:
          D                G
I'm gonna  write about the  birthday gown that I bought in town
         A                          D
When you  sat down and cried on the  stairs
                    G
You knew it did not  cost the earth, but for what it's worth
    A                     D
You  made me feel a millionaire 
                A
And you wear it  well
Em       D         G           A         
Madame Onassis got  nothing on  you, no no (A)

Verse 4:
D           G
 Anyway, my  coffee's cold and I'm getting told
       A                  D
That I  gotta get back to  work
            G
So when the  sun goes low and you're home all alone
A                           D
 Think of me and try not to  laugh 
              A
And I wear it  well
Em       D              G        A
 I don't  object if you  call collect

|       D         G                         
|'Cos I  ain't forgetting that you were once (D) mine
|      G                     D
|But I  blew it without even  tryin'
|        G                    A            
|Now I'm  eatin' my heart out  tryin' to get 
|        D
|Back to  you
