Well he was in  Thailand based  She was an airforce wife
            C
He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life
            G
But then it turned around, and he began to change
            Dm                       G
She didn't wonder then, she didn't think it strange
            Am
But then he got a call, he had to leave that night
             C
He couldn't say too much, but it would be alright
           G
He didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night
         Dm          G            Am  Am  C   Dm  E7
He had a job to do, flying to Cambodia

And as the nights passed by, she tried to trace the past
            C
The way he used to look, the way he used to laugh
               G
I guess she'll never know, what got inside his soul
              Dm                         G
She couldn't make it out, just couldn't take it all
             Am
He had the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen
            C
He used to cry some nights, as though he lived a dream
            G
And as she held him close, he used to search her face
               Dm              G                 Am  Am  C   Dm  E7
As though she knew the truth, lost inside Cambodia
( Am  Am  C  Dm  E7  Am  Am  )

But then a call came through, they said he'd soon be home
             C                                          F     Am  Dm
She had to pack a case and they would make a rendez-vous
             Am
But now the year has passed and not a single word and
          C                                            F     Am  Dm
all the love she knew has disappeared out in the haze

               C                              F     Am  Dm
But there is only one thing left I know for sure
