   Am                                                             Dm 
If you go away on this summer day. Then you might as well take the sun away; 
         G7                                                               C9        C            C9         C 
All the birds that flew in the summer sky. When our love was new and our hearts were high; 
                  Dm6                     E7                                    Am 
When the day was young and the night was long. And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song, 
          Dm7               E7  Dm6    Am                                 Am7                   Am6 
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a day  
                E7/9-              Am                                      Am7                 Am6    
Like no day has been or will be again; We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain,  
                   G7                    C                                E7     Am             Bb 
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind. Then if you go, I'll understand,  
                     Dm6      E7         Am                                 C          Dm   Dm6             E7  D6  E7 
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away. 
       Am                                                        Dm                     Dm+7 
If you go away, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning til 
      G7                                                      C 
You return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you? 
       Dm6                         E7                             Am 
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go. I'll be dying slow til your next hello, 
           Dm7             E7   Dm6    Am                                  Am7                 Am6 
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a night  
                  E7/9-              Am                                          Am7                      Am6 
Like no night has been, or will be again. I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,  
                   G7                 C                           E7     Am               Bb 
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much. But if you go, no, I won't cry,  
           Dm6                   E7         Am                                   C          Dm  Dm6              E7   D6   E7 
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. 
         Am                                                           Dm 
If you go away, as I know you must,  There'll be nothing left in the world to trust, 
              G7                                                           C 
Just an empty room, full of empty space. Like the empty look I see on your face; 
        Dm6                               E7                                Am 
I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might. Have kept me here, by your side; 
            C                     Dm        E7/9-                       Am 
If you go away, if you go away      please don't go away.
