Well, he [Dm] was in Thailand based, she was an Air Force wife.
He used [F] to fly weekends; it was the easy life.
But then [C] it turned around, and he began to change.
She [Gm] didn't wonder then, she didn't [C] think it strange.
But then [Dm] he got a call, he had to leave that night.
He [F] couldn't say too much, but it would be alright.
He [C] didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night.
He had a [Gm] job to do, [C] flying to [Dm] Cambodia. [F] [Gm] [C] [Dm]
And as [Dm] the nights passed by, she tried to trace the past.
The way [F] he used to look, the way he used to laugh.
I guess [C] she'll never know what got inside his soul.
She [Gm] couldn't make it out, [C] just couldn't take it all.
He had [Dm] the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen.
He used [F] to cry some nights, as though he lived a dream.
And as [C] she held him close, he used to search her face.
As [Gm] though she knew the truth, [C] lost inside [Dm] Cambodia. [F] [Gm] [C] [Dm]
But then [Dm] a call came through, they said he'd soon be home.
She had [F] to pack a [Bb] case and they would [Gm] make a rendez-vous.
But now [Dm] the year has passed and not a single word and
all the [F] love she [Bb] knew has [Gm] disappeared out in the haze.
Cambodia [Dm] - Don't [Bb] cry now - [Gm] No tears now.
[Dm][F][Bb][Dm][Gm]
And now [Dm] the years have passed without a single word.
But there is [F] only one thing [Bb] left I know for sure,
She [C] won't see his face [Dm] again.
