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

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