He Stopped Loving Her Today

	  		 
 
                             D 
He said I'll love you till I die 
                              G 
She told him you'll forget in time 
                         A 
As the years went slowly by 
                          D 
She still preyed upon his mind 
                           D 
He kept her picture on his wall 
                        G 
Went half crazy now and then 
                              A 
He still loved her through it all 
                        D 
Hoping she'd come back again 
 
 
Kept some letters by his bed 
Dated 1962 
He had underlined in red 
Every single I love you 
I went to see him just today 
Oh but I didn't see no tears 
All dressed up to go away 
First time I'd seen him smile in years 
 
                      D 
He stopped loving her today 
                              G 
They placed a wreath upon his door 
                            A 
And soon they'll carry him away 
                      D 
He stopped loving her today
 
 
 
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 
 
Chorus
