Intro
C# F A#m G# F# G# (x2)
[Verse 1]
C# F A#m
I lost my true love to the army and he's never coming back
G# F# G#
Had him once and I never will again
C# F A#m
He said I'll see you in a while but I know it's untrue
G# F# G#
Thousand Island and letters I'll send
[Chorus 1]
C# A#m
He told me he'd always be there as a friend
F# G#
But I know what he meant was that this was the end
C# A#m
The government has him nobody should know
F# G#
He's my one true love and I'll never...
[Verse 2]
C# F A#m
The day he left I played it cool like everything was okay
G# F# G#
Smiled silently and watched him sail away
C# F A#m
Everything I wanna say I was never able to do
G# F# G#
Hope to see you again someday
[Chorus 2]
C# A#m
One week we're my something and stay for a year
F# G#
It's only been four days, it seems like a year
C# A#m
You're off killing people, I'm dying alone
F# G#
You're my one true love and I'll never...
[Instrumental]
G#5 A#5 F#5 G#5/B (x4)
[Verse 3]
C# F A#m
Can you remember saying forever, that was so long ago
G# F# G#
Maybe you just never said it at all
C# F A#m
So I lost you to the army, are you ever coming back
G# F# G# C#
Or are my dreams just way too tall
