[Verse]
He said I'll love you 'til I d[G]die
She told him you'll forget in t[C]time
As the years went slowly [D]by
She still preyed upon his [G]mind
He kept her picture on his w[G]wall
Went half crazy now and t[C]then
He still loved her through it a[D]all
Hoping she'd come back ag[G]again
[Chorus]
[G#] Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen-sixty-t[C#]nineteen-sixty-two
He had underlined in r[D#]red
Every single I love [G#]you
[Verse]
I went to see him just tod[G#]today
Oh, but I didn't see no t[C#]tears
All dressed up to go a[D#]away
First time I'd seen him smile in y[G#]years
[Chorus]
He stopped loving her to[G#]today
They placed a wreath upon hi[C#]his door
And soon they'll carry him [D#]away
He stopped loving her [G#]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]
He stopped loving her [G#]today
They placed a wreath upon his [C#]door
And soon they'll carry him [D#]away
He stopped loving her tod[G#]today
