Intro
D# G Cm A# G# A# (x2)
[Verse 1]
D# G Cm
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# G Cm
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# Cm
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# Cm
The government has him nobody should know
G# A#
He's my one true love and I'll never...
[Verse 2]
D# G Cm
The day he left I played it cool like everything was okay
A# G# A#
Smiled silently and watched him sail away
D# G Cm
Everything I wanna say I was never able to do
A# G# A#
Hope to see you again someday
[Chorus 2]
D# Cm
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# Cm
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# G Cm
Can you remember saying forever, that was so long ago
A# G# A#
Maybe you just never said it at all
D# G Cm
So I lost you to the army, are you ever coming back
A# G# A# D#
Or are my dreams just way too tall
