Just a Dream

    Em                             
It was two weeks after the day she 
     G
turned 18
               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
borrowed, something blue

             C            Em
And when the church doors opened up 
wide
            C         Em          
She put her veil down trying to 
        G
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                           
I was counting on forever, now I'll
       C
 never know
G               D
I can't even breathe
              G
It's like I'm looking from a 
distance, standing in the background
Continúa después del anuncio
Em                                
Everybody's saying, he's not 
       C
coming home now,
              G            D
This can't be happening to me
                   Em   G
This is just a dream


[Verse]

    Em                             
The preacher man said let us bow 
           G
our head and pray
                      Em           
Lord please lift his soul and heal 
    G
this hurt
         Em
Then the congregation all stood up
     G               Em           
And sang the saddest song that she
       G
 ever heard
          C
Then they handed her a folded up 
flag
        C                          
And she held on to all she had left
    G
 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                           
I was counting on forever, now I'll
       C
 never know
G               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 
       C
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                           
I was counting on forever, now I'll
       C
 never know
G               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 
       C
coming home now,
              G            D
This can't be happening to me
                   Em   G
This is just a dream
