D
He said I'll love you till I die
G
She told him you'll forget in time
A
As the years went slowly by
D
She still preyed upon his mind
D
He kept her picture on his wall
G
Went half crazy now and then
A
He still loved her through it all
D
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
D
He stopped loving her today
G
They placed a wreath upon his door
A
And soon they'll carry him away
D
He stopped loving her today
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good
Chorus
