Three Words chords by Lennie Gallant

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
