 #Intro: G G
 #
 #Verse 1:
     C                      G                 
 The things I've collected, bought or selected
     C                        G    
 The clutter that fills up my rooms
       C                     G                 
 I can lock up and leave it, never retrieve it.
       C           Am          G   
 Leave nothing but my love for you.
         B7          C            Am7    D     D 
 Let the storm winds blow, I will not be cold. 
 
 Refrain:
 G            C   
  I wear your love
        D       G                D          C   
 Thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down
 G            C   
  I wear your love
        D              G        D            C  
 like a bright suit of armor re-flecting the sun
 G                 C     B7               C     
  On the chilliest night  though I travel light.
       G       C     D                G     G 
 It is always enough  for I wear your love. 
 
 Verse 2:
     C                       G                
 You watched without knowing where I was going
 C                       G    
 Trusting the vision I'd found
        C                   G           
 For if dreams were a fire, I had desire
            C             Am           G      
 That could burn this old house to the ground.
      B7         C             Am7      D 
 So I walk quite free, for sur-rounding me
 
 Refrain:
 G            C   
  I wear your love
        D            G                   D              C    
 like a scarf that I borrowed that still holds your per-fume.
 G            C   
  I wear your love
        D            G                D             C    
 pulled tight as I'm sleeping under a cold lovers's moon.
 G                 C     B7               C     
  On the chilliest night  though I travel light.
       G       C     D                G     G 
 It is always enough  for I wear your love. 
 
 Bridge:
 
 F               C         Dm 
 Don't you know, can't you see
 Am                Dm         
 Head to toe it is covering me
 Dm7           C             Dm 
 Like a stone, the oceans's tide
 E                                    
 Nothing can hurt me or turn me aside.
 
 Refrain:
 A                D   
  For I wear your love
        E       A                E          D    
 Thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down.
 A            D   
  I wear your love
        E           A         E           D    
 Like a badge of de-votion of love and be-yond.
 A                 D     C#7              D     
  On the chilliest night  though I travel light.
       A        D     E                A    
 It is always e-nough  for I wear your love.
 A D E (hold) A D - A - D - A
 It is always e-nough for I wear your love.
