Intro
C E Am G F G (x2)
[Verse 1]
C E Am
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 E Am
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 Am
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 Am
The government has him nobody should know
F G
He's my one true love and I'll never...
[Verse 2]
C E Am
The day he left I played it cool like everything was okay
G F G
Smiled silently and watched him sail away
C E Am
Everything I wanna say I was never able to do
G F G
Hope to see you again someday
[Chorus 2]
C Am
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 Am
You're off killing people, I'm dying alone
F G
You're my one true love and I'll never...

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