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

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