Em G It was two weeks after the day she turned 18 Em G All dressed in white, going to the church that night Em G She had his box of letters in the passenger seat Em Six pins and a shoe, something borrowed, G something blue C And when the church doors opened up wide G/B 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 Em 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 Em Am Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now, G D This can't be happening to me Em G This is just a dream 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 And 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 Chorus Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go? I was countin' on forever Now I'll never know Oh, I'll never know Chorus: It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the background Everybody's sayin' he's not comin' home now This can't be happenin' to me This is just a dream Oh, this is just a dream Just a dream Yeah, yeah You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  C  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
