(Verse 1)
Em7 GIt was two weeks after the day she turned 18
Em7 GAll dressed in white, going to the church that night
Em7 GShe had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Em7 GSix pins and a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
Am Em7And when the church doors opened up wide
Am Em7 GShe put her veil down trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
AmShe heard the trumpets from the military band
DAnd the flowers fell out of her hands
(Chorus)
GBaby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to Go
Em7 AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
G DI can't even breathe
GIt's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Em7 AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
G DThis can't be happening to me
Em7 GThis is just a dream
(Verse 2)
Em7 GThe preacher man said let us bow our head and pray
Em7 G
Lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt
Em7 G
Then the congregation all stood up
Em7 G
And sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Am Em7Then they handed her a folded up flag
Am Em7 GAnd she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
AmAnd then guns rang one last shot
DAnd it felt like a bullet in her heart
(Chorus)
GBaby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to Go
Em7 AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
G DI can't even breathe
GIt's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Em7 AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
G DThis can't be happening to me
Em7 GThis is just a dream
GBaby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to Go
Em7 AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know, Oh I'll Never Know
GIt's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Em7 AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
G DThis can't be happening to me
Em7 GThis is just a dream
Em7 GOh this is just a dream
Em7Just a dream
GYeah Yeah
Em7 G (2x)
