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)
