You Wear It Well

[D]I had [G]nothing to do on this hot afternoon 
but to [A]settle down and write you a [D]line 
I been [G]meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota 
[A]Hell, it‘s been a very long [D]time 
 
You wear it [A]well 
A [Em]little old [D/F#]fashioned but [G]that‘s all [A]right 
 
[D]I sup[G]pose you‘re thinking Aunt Betty‘s sinking 
oh he [A]wouldn‘t get in touch with [D]me 
For [G]I ain‘t begging or losing my head 
I [A]sure do want you to [D]know 
 
That you wear it [A]well 
[Em]There ain‘t a [D/F#]lady in a [G]land so [A]fine oh my 
 
[D]Remember those 
[G]basement parties, your brothers karate 
[A]All day rock and roll [D]shows 
the [G]homesick blues and the radical views 
[A]haven‘t left a mark on [D]you 
 
You wear it [A]well 
A [Em]little late on the [D/F#]time but [G]I don‘t [A]mind 
 
But I ain‘t for[G]getting that you were once [A]mine 
but I [G]blew it without even [A]trying 
Now I‘m [G]eating my heart out 
[A]trying to get a letter [D]through 
 
[Em]Since you‘ve been [D/F#]gone it‘s hard to [G]carry on [A] 
 
I want to [D]write about the 
[G]birthday gown that I bought in town 
as [A]you sat down and cried on the [D]stairs 
You knew it didn‘t 
[G]cost the earth, but for what it‘s worth 
you made me [A]feel like a million[D]aire 
 
and you wear it [A]well 
[Em]Madame O[D/F#]nassis got [G]nothing on [A]you 
 
[D]Well my [G] coffee‘s cold, and I‘m gettin told 
that I [A]gotta get back to [D]work 
So when the [G]sun goes low and you‘re home alone 
[A] think of me and try not to [D]laugh 
 
and I wear it [A]well 
[Em]I don‘t [D/F#]mind if you [G]call col[A]lect 
 
But I [D]ain‘t for[G]getting that you were once [A]mine 
but I [G]blew it without even [A]trying 
Now I‘m [G]eating my heart out 
[A]trying to get back to [D]you 
 
[Em]Since that‘s been [D/F#]said, what‘s [G]left to ad[A]dress?
