Tom: 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 been meaning to phone ya, 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
D G
I suppose you're thinking Aunt Betty's sinking
A D
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 a land so fine oh my
D
Remember those
G
basement parties, your brothers 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 late on the time but I don't mind
G A
But 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 a letter through
Em D/F# G A
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
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
You knew it didn't
G
cost the earth, but for what it's worth
A D
you made me feel like a millionaire
A
and you wear it well
Em D/F# G A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you
D G
Well 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 mind if you call collect
D G A
But 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
Em D/F# G A
Since that's been said, what's left to address?
"The little man knows all ..."
