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
You wear it well
Em D/F# G* A
A little old fashioned but that's all right G* A

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
