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

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