Carrie Underwood - Just a Dream: chords

        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
Six pins and a shoe, something borrowed,
            G
something blue

               C
And when the church doors opened up wide
                                          G/B
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
               Am
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                                  Am
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                                        Am
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

The preacher man said,
"Let us bow 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

And 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

Chorus

Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever
Now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know

Chorus:
It's like I'm lookin' from a distance,
standin' in the background
Everybody's sayin' he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, yeah
