Dm
Well he was in Thailand based.
She was an airforce wife.
F
He used to fly weekends,
It was the easy life.
C
But then it turned around,
And he began to change.
Gm
She didn't wonder then,
C
She didn't think it strange.
Dm
But then he got a call,
He had to leave that night.
F
He couldn't say too much,
But it would be alright.
C
He didn't need to pack,
They'd meet the next night.
Gm
He had a job to do,
C Dm
Flying to Cambodia.
F Gm A
Dm F Gm A Dm
Dm
And as the nights passed by,
She tried to trace the past.
F
The way he used to look,
The way he used to laugh.
C
I guess she'll never know,
What got inside his soul.
Gm
She couldn't make it out,
C
Just couldn't take it all.
Dm
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen.
F
He used to cry some nights,
As though he lived a dream.
C
And as she held him close,
He used to search her face.
Gm
As though she knew the truth,
C Dm
Lost inside Cambodia.
F Gm A
Dm F Gm A Dm
Dm
But then a call came through,
They said he'd soon be home.
F
She had to pack a case
Gm C
And they would make a rendez-vous.
Dm
But now the year has passed
And not a single word
F
And all the love she knew
Gm C
Has disappeared out in the haze.
Dm F Gm A
Dm
And now the years have passed
Without a single word.
F
But there is only one thing
Gm
Left I know for sure,
C
She won't see his face again
