[Verse 1]
CI wanted to give you something to show the way I feel
But a rose won’t last near long enough
GAnd for a diamond I’d have to steal
CI hope you won’t feel cheated because the Fgift is not brand new
CI wrapped it up inside this song, it’s Gfor no one else but you
[Chorus]
Three well worn Fwords, stained with Ctears
Well worn Fwords that conquered Cfear
Used a Ammillion times in vEmerse and rhyme
Yet they Fnever reach everyone’s Gears
Three well worn Fwords soaked by the rCain
Well worn Fwords full of joy and CpainG/B  
AmThrown to the wind of a Emthousand storms
They fFloat back home again
[Verse 2]
There’s a Csoftness in your pretty face
When the morning light creeps in
I search for the things to whisper to you
But I Gdon’t know where to begin
CMaybe you’ve heard them before
FMaybe I’ve heard them too
CBut an old guitar plays the sweetest music
When the Gchords that you play are true
[Chorus]
Three well worn Fwords, stained with Ctears
Well worn Fwords that conquered Cfear
Used a Ammillion times in vEmerse and rhyme
Yet they Fnever reach everyone’s Gears
Three well worn Fwords soaked by the rCain
Well worn Fwords full of joy and CpainG/B  
AmThrown to the wind of a Emthousand storms
They fFloat back home again
[Verse 3]
At the Cback of a dresser drawer
Where the daylight couldn’t get through
At the bottom of an old love letter
That I Galways meant to send to you
Three well worn Cwords
