Capo 3

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.
