Just a Dream

        Em                         
It was two weeks after the day she 
            G
turned eighteen
                Em                 
All dressed in white, going to the 
             G
church that night
            Em                   
She had his box of letters in the 
            G
passenger seat
               Em             
Six pins and a shoe, something 
                     G
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
             Am
She heard trumpets from the military
 band
         D
And the flowers fell out of her 
hands

G
Baby why'd you leave me

Why'd you have to go?
        Em                         
I was counting on forever, now I'll
         Am
 never know

C              D
I can't even breathe
               G
It's like I'm looking from a 
distance, standing in the background
Em                                
Everybody's saying, he's not 
        Am
coming home now
              C            D
This can't be happening to me
         Em          G
This is just a dream

     Em                            
The preacher man said let us bow 
            G
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 guns 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,
C
Baby why'd you leave me, why'd you 
have to go?
      G                         Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll 
never know
              D
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
