I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
A D
but to settle down and write you a line

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
D G
Well, I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking

Oh, he wouldn't get in touch with me
G
For 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
D G
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
A D
All day rock and roll shows
G
The homesick blues and the 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
[Chorus]
G A
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
G A
but I blew it without even trying

Now I'm eating my heart out
A D
trying to get a letter through
(Instrumental)

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
[Verse]
D
I want to write about the
G
birthday gown that I bought in town
A D
as you sat down and cried on the stairs
G
You knew it didn't 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
D G
Anyway my coffee's cold, and I'm gettin' told
A D
that I gotta get back to work
G
So when the sun goes low and you're home 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
[Chorus]
D G A
Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
G A
but I blew it without even trying
G
Now I'm eating my heart out
A D
trying to get back to you
