     CDial Ga Dcliche.  CDial Ga Dcliche.
     DBut the F#mperson underneath where does Bmhe go?
     Does he Dslide by the Gwayside; Gmor does he just Ddie?
     And you find that you've F#morganized your Bmfeelings for Dpeople
     who Gdidn't like you then and Gmdo not like you Dnow.
     But still you say "ADo as I do and scrap your fey ways"...GDial a Dcliche.
     "AGrow up, be a man, and close your mealy mouth"...GDial a Dcliche.
     The Csafe Gway is the Donly way.  There's Calways Gtime to Dchange, son.
     I've Cchanged but Gnow I'm in Dpain...CDial Ga Dcliche.
