E5 G5 It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen E5 G5 All dressed in white, going to the church that night E5 G5 She had his box of letters in the passenger seat E5 G5 Six pins and a shoe, something barrowed, something blue C5 And when the church doors opened up wide She put her veil down G5 Trying to hide the tears Oh she just couldn't believe it A5 She heard trumpets from the military band D5 And the flowers fell out of her hands G5 Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? E5 A5 I was counting on forever, now I'll never know C5 D5 I can't even breathe G5 It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background E5 A5 Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now C5 D5 This can't be happening to me E5 G5 This is just a dream E5 G5 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 G5 E5 A5 C5 D5 This is just a dream Oh, C5 Baby why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go? G5 A5 I was counting on forever, now I'll never know D5 Oh, now I'll never know G5 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 G5 E5 A5 C5 D5 This is just a dream G5 E5 A5 C5 D5 Oh, this is just a dream E5 Just a dream Yeah, Yeah
