He Stopped Loving Her Today
G
He said I’ll love you ’til I die
Am
She told him you’ll forget in time
D7
As the years went slowly by
G
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Am
Went half crazy now and then
D7
He still loved her through it all
G
Hoping she’d come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Am
Dated 1962
D7
He had underlined in red
G
Every single I love you
I went to see him just today
Am
Oh but I didn’t see no tears
D7
All dressed up to go away
G
First time I’d seen him smile in years
(Chorus)
D7 G
He stopped loving her today
G7 C
They placed a wreath upon his door
D7
And soon they’ll carry him away
G
He stopped loving her today
recitation
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he’s over her for good
