Just A Dream Chords

[Verse 1]
 
    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                              G
Six pins and a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
 
             C            Em
And when the church doors opened up wide
            C         Em                  G
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears
 
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
              C
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                                  C
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                                       C
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    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
Then the congregation all stood up
     G               Em                  G
And sang the saddest song that she ever heard
          C
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've been
         Am
And then guns rang one last shot
       D
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
      Em                                  C
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                                       C
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
 
G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
      Em                                  C
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                                       C
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
