🎸 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've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
A                           D
Hell, it's been a very long time


🎸 Chorus: 
            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


🎸 Chorus: 
               A
If you wear it well
Em            D/F#        G       A
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my


🎸 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


🎸 Chorus: 
            A
You wear it well
  Em            D/F#     G       A
A little out of time but I don't mind


🎸 Verse 4:
D           G                             D
But I ain't forgettin' that you were once 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

🎸 Verse 5:
      D               G
Gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
    A                         D
You sat down and cried on the stairs
            G
You know it cost the earth, but for what it's worth
    A                    D
You made me feel a millionaire


🎸 Chorus: 
            A
You wear it well, ooh
Em      D/F#       G          A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you


🎸 Verse 6:
   D       G
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm gettin' told
  A                 D
I gotta get back to work
            G
So when the sun goes down and you're home all alone
A                          D
Think of me and try not to laugh


🎸 Chorus: 
                A
And you wear it well
Em        D/F#        Em     A
I don't object if you call collect


🎸 Verse 7:
D              G                             D
'Cause I ain't forgettin' that you were once mine
      G                    D
But I blew it without even tryin'
        G
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
A
Tryin' to get back to you

      D                                         Em   D/F# G A
