Verse 1:
  Em7                       G
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
          Em7                    G
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
        Em7                    G
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
          Em7                    G
Six pins and a shoe, something borrowed, something blue

        Am    	Em7
And when the church doors opened up wide
         Am       Em7            G
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears

Oh she just couldn't believe it
         Am
She heard the trumpets from the military band
     D
And the flowers fell out of her hands

Chorus:
G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to Go
    Em7                       Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
G          D
I can't even breathe
         G
It's like I'm looking from a distance, 
standing in the background
Em7                         Am
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
         G        D
This can't be happening to me
             Em7  G
This is just a dream

Verse 2:
	Em7                       G
The 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    	Em7
Then they handed her a folded up flag
Am    	Em7			G
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
	 Am
And then guns rang one last shot
     D
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Chorus:
G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to Go
    Em7                       Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
G          D
I can't even breathe
         G
It's like I'm looking from a distance, 
standing in the background
Em7                          Am
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
         G        D
This can't be happening to me
             Em7  G
This is just a dream

G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to Go
    Em7                       Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know, 
Oh I'll Never Know

         G
It's like I'm looking from a distance, 
standing in the background
Em7                          Am
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
         G        D
This can't be happening to me
             Em7  G
This is just a dream

Em7  G
Oh this is just a dream
   Em7
Just a dream
   G
Yeah Yeah

Outro: Em7  G (2x)
