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

Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate, all day rock and roll shows

The homesick blues and the radical views, haven't left a mark on you
             A       Em       -        D/F#  -  G   -    A
You wear it well, a little late on the time but I don't mind

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
            D     -        G                                          A
I want to write about the birthday gown that I bought in town as-you sat down and cried on the

 stairs
                    G                                           A                          D
You-knew-it-didn't-cost the earth, but for what it's worth you made me feel-like-a millionaire
                 A     Em  -  D/F#   -    G    -     A
and you wear it well, Madame Onassis got nothing on you, no no
    D   -    G                                          A                  D
And well, my coffee's cold, and I'm gettin told, that I gotta get back to work
            G                                       A                           D
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone, think of me and try not to laugh
               A    Em  -      D/F#   -    G   -   A
and I wear it well, I don't object if you call collect
 
       D   -    G                          A            G                   A
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine, but I blew it without even trying
         G                     A                     D
Now I'm eating my heart out, trying to get back to you
