But then it turned around, and he

And as the nights passed by, she 
tried to trace the past
            C
The way he used to look, the way he 
used to laugh
               G
I guess she'll never know, what got 
inside his soul
              Dm              
She couldn't make it out, just 
           G
couldn't take it all
             Am
He had the saddest eyes the girl had
 ever seen
            C
He used to cry some nights, as 
though he lived a dream
            G
And as she held him close, he used 
to search her face
               Dm              G  
As though she knew the truth, lost

But then a call came through, they 
said he'd soon be home
             C                 
She had to pack a case and they 
                         F     Am  
would make a rendez-vous

But now the year has passed and not 
a single word and
          C              
all the love she knew has 
                              F    
disappeared out in the haze
 Am  Dm

And now the years have passed 
without a single word
               C                   
But there is only one thing left I 
           F     Am  Dm
know for sure
Dm                       Am
She won't see his face again
