(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


	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

Em7   G (2x)
