[Verse 1]
C
I wanted to give you something to show the way I feel
But a rose won’t last near long enough
G
And for a diamond I’d have to steal
C F
I hope you won’t feel cheated because the gift is not brand new
C G
I wrapped it up inside this song, it’s for no one else but you
[Chorus]
F C
Three well worn words, stained with tears
F C
Well worn words that conquered fear
Am C
Used a million times in verse and rhyme
F G
Yet they never reach everyone’s ears
F C
Three well worn words soaked by the rain
F C G/B
Well worn words full of joy and pain
Am C
Thrown to the wind of a thousand storms
F
They float back home again
[Verse 2]
C
There’s a softness in your pretty face
When the morning light creeps in
I search for the things to whisper to you
G
But I don’t know where to begin
C
Maybe you’ve heard them before
F
Maybe I’ve heard them too
C
But an old guitar plays the sweetest music
G
When the chords that you play are true
[Chorus]
F C
Three well worn words, stained with tears
F C
Well worn words that conquered fear
Am C
Used a million times in verse and rhyme
F G
Yet they never reach everyone’s ears
F C
Three well worn words soaked by the rain
F C G/B
Well worn words full of joy and pain
Am C
Thrown to the wind of a thousand storms
F
They float back home again
[Verse 3]
C
At the back of a dresser drawer
Where the daylight couldn’t get through
At the bottom of an old love letter
G
That I always meant to send to you
C
Three well worn words
C
I wanted to give you something to show the way I feel
But a rose won’t last near long enough

And for a diamond I’d have to steal
