[Verse]
D  D   G
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon

        A                           D
But to settle down and write you a line

           G
I've been meaning to phone you 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      G*     A

[Verse]                                             

 D   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/F#         *G      A
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my
[Verse]
 D        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/F#    *G        A
A little out of time but I don't mind
[Break]
    D  D        G                          D
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

       G                    D
But I blew it without even tryin'

         G         
Now I'm eatin' my heart out

 A                        D     D
Tryin' to get a letter through
[Instrumental] A A Em D/F# *G A D D Em
 Em               D/F#              *G    A
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
[Verse]
             D    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/F#       *G          A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you, no no
[Verse]
    D   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/F#          *G       A
I don't object if you call collect
[Break]
        D     D  G                          D
'Cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

        G                   D
but I blew it without even tryin'

         G                   A                    D
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you
