Intro
A C# F#m E D E (x2)
[Verse 1]
A C# F#m
I lost my true love to the army and he's never coming back
E D E
Had him once and I never will again
A C# F#m
He said I'll see you in a while but I know it's untrue
E D E
Thousand Island and letters I'll send
[Chorus 1]
A F#m
He told me he'd always be there as a friend
D E
But I know what he meant was that this was the end
A F#m
The government has him nobody should know
D E
He's my one true love and I'll never...
[Verse 2]
A C# F#m
The day he left I played it cool like everything was okay
E D E
Smiled silently and watched him sail away
A C# F#m
Everything I wanna say I was never able to do
E D E
Hope to see you again someday
[Chorus 2]
A F#m
One week we're my something and stay for a year
D E
It's only been four days, it seems like a year
A F#m
You're off killing people, I'm dying alone
D E
You're my one true love and I'll never...
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A C# F#m
Can you remember saying forever, that was so long ago
E D E
Maybe you just never said it at all
A C# F#m
So I lost you to the army, are you ever coming back
E D E A
Or are my dreams just way too tall
