Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
 You wear it well
 A little  old fashioned  but that's  all right
I  suppose  you're thinking Aunt Betty's sinking
 oh 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 a land  so fine  oh my
Remember  those
basement  parties, your brothers 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  late on the 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
Since  you've been gone  it's hard to carry  on
 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 alone
 think of me and try not to laugh
 and I wear it well
I  don't mind  if you call  collect
 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 back to you
Since  that's been said,  what's left  to address?
 "The little man knows all ..."
