Intro
B D# G#m F# E F# (x2)
[Verse 1]
B D# G#m
I lost my true love to the army and he's never coming back
F# E F#
Had him once and I never will again
B D# G#m
He said I'll see you in a while but I know it's untrue
F# E F#
Thousand Island and letters I'll send
[Chorus 1]
B G#m
He told me he'd always be there as a friend
E F#
But I know what he meant was that this was the end
B G#m
The government has him nobody should know
E F#
He's my one true love and I'll never...
[Verse 2]
B D# G#m
The day he left I played it cool like everything was okay
F# E F#
Smiled silently and watched him sail away
B D# G#m
Everything I wanna say I was never able to do
F# E F#
Hope to see you again someday
[Chorus 2]
B G#m
One week we're my something and stay for a year
E F#
It's only been four days, it seems like a year
B G#m
You're off killing people, I'm dying alone
E F#
You're my one true love and I'll never...
[Instrumental]
F#5 G#5 E5 F#5/A (x4)
[Verse 3]
B D# G#m
Can you remember saying forever, that was so long ago
F# E F#
Maybe you just never said it at all
B D# G#m
So I lost you to the army, are you ever coming back
F# E F# B
Or are my dreams just way too tall
