[Intro:   F#     A    E  Bb]
Well he was in F#Thailand based. 
She was an airforce wife. 
He used to Afly weekends, it was the easy life. 
But then it Eturned around, and he began to change. 
She didn't Dwonder then, she didn't think it strange. 
But then he F#got a call, he had to leave that night. 
He couln't Asay too much, but it would be alright. 
He didn't Eneed to pack, they'd meet the next night. 
He had a Bbjob to do, 
flying to Cambodia. 
[Chorus:    F#     A     F#  Asus4]
And as the nights passed by, she 
tried to trace the past. 
The way he used to look, the way 
he used to laugh. 
I guess she'll never know, what got 
inside his soul. 
She couldn't make it out, just 
couldn't take it all. 
He had the saddest eyes the girl 
had ever seen. 
He used to cry some nights, as though he 
lived a dream. 
And as she held him close, he used to search 
her face. 
As though she knew the truth, lost inside 
Cambodia. 
But then a call came through, they said 
he'd soon be home. 
She had to pack a case and they 
would make a rendez-vous. 
But now the year has passed and 
not a single word and 
all the love she knew has disappeared 
out in the haze. 
And now the years have passed 
without a single word. 
But there is only one thing left I 
know for sure, 
She won't see his face again.
(so: [verse:  F#   A   E   D   F#   A   E  Bb])

[Intro: ]

Well he was in Thailand based.

She was an airforce wife.

He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life.

But then it turned around, and he began to change.

She didn't wonder then, she didn't think it strange.

But then he got a call, he had to leave that night.

He couln't say too much, but it would be alright.

He didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night.

He had a job to do,

flying to Cambodia.

[Chorus: ]

And as the nights passed by, she

tried to trace the past.

The way he used to look, the way

he used to laugh.

I guess she'll never know, what got

inside his soul.

She couldn't make it out, just

couldn't take it all.

He had the saddest eyes the girl

had ever seen.

He used to cry some nights, as though he

lived a dream.

And as she held him close, he used to search

her face.

As though she knew the truth, lost inside

Cambodia.

But then a call came through, they said

he'd soon be home.

She had to pack a case and they

would make a rendez-vous.

But now the year has passed and

not a single word and

all the love she knew has disappeared

out in the haze.

And now the years have passed

without a single word.

But there is only one thing left I

know for sure,

She won't see his face again.
