F#
He said I'll love you 'til I die

                              B
She told him you'll forget in time

                         C#
As the years went slowly by

                           F#
She still preyed upon his mind



                            F#
He kept her picture on his wall

                         B
Went half crazy now and then

                               C#
He still loved her through it all

                         F#        D7
Hoping she'd come back again



                          G
Kept some letters by his bed

          C
Dated 1962

                      D
He had underlined in red

                     G
Every single 'I love you'


                          G
I went to see him just today

                         C
Oh but I didn't see no tears

                      D
All dressed up to go away

                                   G
First time I'd seen him smile in years

        CHORUS:
                                G
        He stopped loving her today

                        G7             C
        They placed a wreath upon his door

                                    D
        And soon they'll carry him away

                                 G
        He stopped loving her today

                                       G
You know she came to see him one last time

                                C
Oh and we all wondered if she would

                                D
And it kept running through my mind

                             G
This time he's over her for good

(CHORUS)
