If You Go Away

[Verse]
              Am
If you go away on this summer day,
          Dm
Then you might as well take the sun away
         G7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
          C           Cadd9  C
When our love was new
         C              Cadd9  C
And our hearts were high
          Dm
When the day was young,
         E7
And the night was long
         Am              Am Amadd9 Am
And the moon stood still
         Am            Am Asus4 Am
For the nightbird song
        Dm       Dsus2  Dm
If you go away,
        E7
if you go away
        Am     Am Dm E7 Am
If you go away

[Chorus]
             Am7                  Am6
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
                 E7               Am7
Like no day has been or will be again
                   Am7                    Am6
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
                    G  G7
We'll talk to the trees
      C               E7
that worship the wind
            Am             Bb
And if you go, I'll understand
                Dm       Dm6  E7
Leave me just enough love
               Am
to fill up my hand
        C               Dm    Dm6
If you go away, if you go away
            E7  Dm6 Dm E7
If you go away

[Verse]
Am
If you go away, as I know you must,
             Dm
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
        G                               G7
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
         C
Like the empty look I see on your face
       Dm         Dm7        E7
Can I tell you now,  as you turn to go,
         Am       Am Amadd9 Am
I'll be dying slow
          Am        Am Asus4 Am
til your next hello,
        Dm       Dsus2  Dm
If you go away,
        E7
if you go away
        Am     Am Dm E7 Am
If you go away

[Chorus]
             Am7                  Am6
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
                   E7                Am
Like no night has been, or will be again
                    Am7                     Am6
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
                  G   G7
I'll talk to your eyes
                C    E7
that I love so much.
            Am               Bb
But if you go, no, I won't cry,
   Dm       Dm6        E7
Though the good is gone
                      Am
from the word good-bye.
        Dm6             E7              Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
