G
He said I'll love you 'til I die
                               C
She told him you'll forget in time
                         D
As the years went slowly by
                          G
She still preyed upon his mind

                            G
He kept her picture on his wall
                         C
Went half crazy now and then
                               D
He still loved her through it all
                         G
Hoping she'd come back again


[Chorus]
G#
   Kept some letters by his bed
                      C#
Dated nineteen-sixty-two
                      D#
He had underlined in red
                    G#
Every single I love you


[Verse]
                          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
                            C#
They placed a wreath upon his door
                           D#
And soon they'll carry him away
                      G#
He stopped loving her today


[Verse]
G#
   You know, she came to see him one last time
C#
   Aw, 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]
                      G#
He stopped loving her today
                              C#
They placed a wreath upon his door
                           D#
And soon they'll carry him away
                         G#
He stopped loving her today
