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

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