Em G Em G

Em G
it was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
Em
all dressed in white
G
going to the church that night
Em G
she had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Em G
sixpence in a shoe , something borrowed , something blue

Am
and when the church doors opened up wide

she put her veil down
G
trying to hide the tears

oh she just couldn’t believe it
Am C
she heard trumpets from the military band
D
and the flowers fell out of her hand

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
C 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
C D
this can’t be happening to me
Em G
this is just a dream

Em G
the preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Em G
lord please lift his soul , and heal this hurt
Em G
then the congregation all stood up and sang
Em G
the saddEst song that she ever heard

Am
then they handed her a folded up flag
C G
and she held on to all she had left of him

oh , and what could have been
Am C
and then the guns rang one last shot
D
and it felt like a bullet in her heart

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
C 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
C D
this can’t be happening to me
G
this is just a dream

Em Am G C D

C
oh , baby why’d you leave me

why’d you have to go?
Em Am C
i was counting on forever , now i’ll never know
D
oh , i’ll never know
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
C D
this can’t be happening to me
G Em Am C D
this is just a dream

G Em Am C D
oh , this is just a dream
Em
