It was two weEmeks after the day she turned eighteen G
All dressed in wEmhite
Going to the church that night
EmG
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a sEmhoe, something barrowed, something bGlue
And when the chuCrch doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tGears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard truCmpets from the military band
And the fDlowers that I never had
GBaby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was coEmunting on forever, now I'll never knAmow
CI can't even brDeathe
It's like I'm lGooking from a distance
Standing in the background
EmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home nAmow
This can't be Chappening to Dme
This is jEmust a dream G
The pEmreacher man said let us bow our heads and Gpray
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
This is just a dreaGm Em Am C D
Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never kEmnow
It's like I'm lGooking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dreGamEm Am C D
Oh, this is justG aEm drAmeamC D
JuEmst a dream
Yeah, Yeah
