Em G Em G
Em G
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
Em
All dressed in white
G
Going to the church that night
Em G
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Em G
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
Am
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
G
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
Am C
She heard trumpets from the military band
D
And the flowers fell out of her hand
G
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
Em Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
C D
I can't even breathe
G
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Em Am
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
C D
This can't be happening to me
Em G
This is just a dream

Em G
The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Em G
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Em G
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
Em G
The saddest song that she ever heard
Am
Then they handed her a folded up flag
C G
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
Am C
And then the guns rang one last shot
D
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
G
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
Em Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
C D
I can't even breathe
G
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Em Am
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
C D
This can't be happening to me
G
This is just a dream
Em Am G C D
C
Oh, Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
Em Am C
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
D
Oh, I'll never know
G
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Em Am
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
C D
This can't be happening to me
G Em Am C D
This is just a dream
G Em Am C D
Oh, this is just a dream
Em
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah
