Verse 1:
  C5i picture you G5sleeping.     Gmwhen i am not tFhere. Fm  
i think of you C5smiling. exFtending yourself to the eG5dge of the mattress. 
  C5i see our apG5artment.    Gmthe clothes on the fFloor. Fm  
the books on the nC5ightstand.  
your Fbreath on my face and your hG5air on the pillow. 
you tC5old me that Bb5you were so hAb5appy. 
in that dEb5ress that the Db5sun shone right tAb5hrough. 
G5i will come back from the C5war. and then iBb5'll marry Ab5you.

the ocean is wide and it's deep. but the undertow pulls me to you. 
G5i will come back from the C5war. and then iBb5'll marry Ab5you.
Verse 2: (chords: second verse; same as first)
we leave in the morning. i'm terribly scared. 
i want to return as the man that you saw wave goodbye at the station. 
i will try to be careful. i will button my coat. 
i will count the days backward. 
i will concentrate and will the bullets to miss me. 
you told me that you were so happy. it turns out that i'm happy too. 
i will come back from the war. and then i'll marry you.
i make a lousy soldier. my heart isn't in it that's true
i will come back from the war. and then i'll marry you.
