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

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