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

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