Em G
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
Em G
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
Em G
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Em G
Six pins and a shoe, something barrowed, something blue
C
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
She heard trumpets from the military band
D
And the flowers fell out of her hands
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

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