Intro: 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 couldnʼt believe it
       Am           C
She heard trumpets from the military band
     D
And the flowers fell out of her hand

G
Baby whyʼd you leave me

Whyʼd you have to go?
    Em                          Am
I was counting on forever, now Iʼll never know
C        D
I canʼt even breathe
         G
Itʼs like Iʼm looking from a distance

Standing in the background
Em                             Am
Everybodyʼs saying, heʼs not coming home now
         C        D
This canʼt 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 whyʼd you leave me

Whyʼd you have to go?
    Em                          Am
I was counting on forever, now Iʼll never know
C        D
I canʼt even breathe
         G
Itʼs like Iʼm looking from a distance

Standing in the background
Em                             Am
Everybodyʼs saying, heʼs not coming home now
         C        D
This canʼt be happening to me
      G
This is just a dream

Em Am G C D

   C
Oh, Baby whyʼd you leave me

Whyʼd you have to go?
    Em              Am       C
I was counting on forever, now Iʼll never know
      D
Oh, Iʼll never know
         G
Itʼs like Iʼm looking from a distance

Standing in the background
Em                             Am
Everybodyʼs saying, heʼs not coming home now
         C        D
This canʼt 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
