All dressed in white, going to the church that night
Em

She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Em

Six pins and a shoe, something 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
Am
I was counting on forever, now I'll 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 coming home now
C
D
This can't be happening to me
Em
G
This is just a dream
