Verse 1
[Dm]I've got a reputation [Am]of being [Gm]a man with a gift of words.[Am]
[Dm]A romantic poetic type; or[Am] so [Gm]they say.
[Dm]But I find it hard to [Am]express [Gm]the way I feel about you[Am]
[Dm]Without getting involved [Am]with the old [Gm]cliches. In the old
[Dm]cliches, [Am] [Gm] it's
[Dm]the old [Am]cliches.[Gm]
Verse 2
[Dm]This song's begun so many[Am] times,[Gm] but never In a way[Am]
[Dm] that you won't consider [Am]to be [Gm]an old cliche.[Am]
[Dm]I want to say that I need[Am] you, I[Gm] miss you when you're [Am]away.
[Dm]And how it seemed like [Am]fate - o [Gm]here we go -[Am]
[Dm] the same old cliches. [Am] [Gm]It's the same old cliches.[Am]
[Dm] [Am] [Gm] [Am]
Chorus
[Am]It's not that I'm embarrassed or shy, [Gm]well, you know me too well,
[Dm]But I want to make this song [Dm]special in a way that you can tell.
[Bb]That it's solely for you [Am]and [Gm]for nobody else.
[F]For my best friend, for my lover, when I [C]need help
[Dm][Am]cliche,[Am][Gm]

Verse 3
[Dm]Everything I want to say [Am]to [Gm]you[Am]
[Dm]is wrapped up in an old [Am][Gm]cliche.[Am]
[Am]I'd waited so long to find you, [Gm]I'd been through the heartbreak and pain,
[Dm]But of course you already know that[Dm] 'cause you've been through the same.
[Dm]That's why I'm trying to [Am]say [Gm]with my deepest sincerity.[Am]
[Dm]That's why I'm finding it[Am] comes [Gm]down to the basic [Am]simplicities.
[Dm]The best way is with an old [Gm]cliche.
[Dm]It's simply the best way;[Am] is [Gm]with an old cliche.[Am]
[Dm]Always the best way is with an[Gm] old cliche.
[Dm]I'll leave it to the best way,[Gm] it's an old cliche:
[Dm]I love you.
