Just a Dream — Carrie Underwood
Chords and lyrics for Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood (key of G).
Verse 1
It [Em]was two weeks after the day she [G]turned 18
All dressed in [Em]white, going to the church that [G]night
She had his [Em]box of letters in the passenger[G] seat
Six pins and a [Em]shoe, something borrowed, [G]something blue
And when the [C]church doors [Em]opened up wide
She put her [C]veil down [Em]trying to hide the [G]tears
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
She heard the [C]trumpets from the military band
And the [D]flowers fell out of her hands
Chorus
[G]Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was [Em]counting on forever, now I'll never [C]know
[G]I can't even [D]breathe
It's like I'm [G]looking from a distance, standing in the background
[Em]Everybody's saying, he's not coming home [C]now,
This can't be [G]happening to [D]me
This is just a [Em]dream[G]
Verse 2
The [Em]preacher man said let us bow our heads and [G]pray
Lord, please lift his [Em]soul and heal this[G] hurt
Then the [Em]congregation all stood up
And [G]sang the saddest [Em]song that she ever [G]heard
Then they [C]handed her a folded up flag
And she [C]held on to all she had left of [G]him
Oh, and what could've been
And then [Am]guns rang one last shot
And it [D]felt like a bullet in her heart
Chorus
[G]Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was [Em]counting on forever, now I'll never [C]know
[G]I can't even [D]breathe
It's like I'm [G]looking from a distance, standing in the background
[Em]Everybody's saying, he's not coming home [C]now,
This can't be [G]happening to [D]me
This is just a [Em]dream[G]
[G]Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was [Em]counting on forever, now I'll never [C]know
[G]I can't even [D]breathe
It's like I'm [G]looking from a distance, standing in the background
[Em]Everybody's saying, he's not coming home [C]now,
This can't be [G]happening to [D]me
This is just a [Em]dream[G]
