ARTIST: Rod Stewart TITLE: You Wear It Well Lyrics and Chords I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I been meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota Hell, it's been a very long time (D) / G - - - / A - D - / : You wear it well A little old fashioned but that's all right / A - / Em D G A - D / I suppose you're thinking, "I bet he's sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me" For I ain't begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know That you wear it well There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my 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 You wear it well A little out of time but I don't mind But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get a letter through / G - D - / / G - / A - D - - - / Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on / Em D G A - D / I want to write about the birthday gown that I bought in town As you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth You made me feel like a millionaire And you wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you Well my coffee's cold, and I'm gettin' told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh And I'll wear it well I don't object if you call collect But I ain't forgetting... Trying to get back to you Since that's been said, what's left to address?
