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         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:

 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
