Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.
Em G It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen Em All dressed in white 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 barrowed, something blue C 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 C She heard trumpets from the military band D And the flowers that I never had 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 Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard 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 guards rang one last shot And it felt like a bullet in her heart Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know I can't even breathe It's like I'm looking from a distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now This can't be happening to me G Em Am C D This is just a dream Oh, Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know Em Oh, now I'll never know G It's like I'm looking from a distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now 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 Just a dream Yeah, Yeah
