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 C
She didn't wonder then, 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 C Dm F Gm C Dm
He had a job to do, flying to Cambodia.
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 C
She couldn't make it out, 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 C Dm F Gm C Dm
As though she knew the truth, lost inside Cambodia.
Dm
But then a call came through, they said he'd soon be home.
F A# Gm
She had to pack a case and they would make a rendez-vous.
Dm
But now the year has passed and not a single word and
F A# Gm
all the love she knew has disappeared out in the haze.
Dm A# Gm
Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now.
Dm
And now the years have passed without a single word.
F A#
But there is only one thing left I know for sure,
C Dm
She won't see his face again.
