Em G Em G
Em GIt was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
EmAll dressed in white
GGoing to the church that night
Em GShe had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Em GSixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
AmAnd when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
GTrying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
Am CShe heard trumpets from the military band
DAnd the flowers fell out of her hand
GBaby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
Em AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
C DI can't even breathe
GIt's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Em AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now
C DThis can't be happening to me
Em GThis is just a dream
Em GThe preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Em GLord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Em GThen the congregation all stood up and sang
Em GThe saddest song that she ever heard
AmThen they handed her a folded up flag
C GAnd she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
Am CAnd then the guns rang one last shot
DAnd it felt like a bullet in her heart
GBaby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
Em AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
C DI can't even breathe
GIt's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Em AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now
C DThis can't be happening to me
GThis is just a dream
Em Am G C D
COh, Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
Em Am CI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
DOh, I'll never know
GIt's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Em AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now
C DThis can't be happening to me
G Em Am C DThis is just a dream
G Em Am C DOh, this is just a dream
EmJust a dream
Yeah, Yeah
