Words & Music by Paul Williams & Roger Nichols Originally performed by The Carpenters [Intro] D F#m7 D/F# G Gsus2 A D F#m7 D/F# G G/A A [Verse 1]
D              F#m7
  Day after day

       G               A
I must face a world of strangers

        Bm9
where I don't belong;

    Em7             G/A  A
I'm not that strong.

D              F#m7
  It's nice to know

             G             A
that there's someone I can turn to

         Bm9
who will always care;

       Em7          G/A
you're always there.
[Chorus]
A            D           C/D      G        Em7
When there's no getting over that rainbow,

A       D             C/D             G     Em7
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,

G/A   D               C/D      GM7          D/F#
I can take all the madness the world has to give,

      Em7        G/A           D
but I won't last a day without you.
(D) F#m7 D/F# G G/A A D F#m7 D/F# G G/A A [Verse 2]
D              F#m7
  So many times

         G             A
when the city seems to be

          Bm9
without a fiendly face,

  Em7           G/A  A
a lonely place,

D              F#m7
  it's nice to know

            G             A
that you'll be there if I need you,

           Bm9
and you'll always smile;

     Em7             G/A
it's all worth while.
[Chorus]
A            D           C/D      G        Em7
When there's no getting over that rainbow,

A       D             C/D             G     Em7
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,

G/A   D               C/D      GM7          D/F#
I can take all the madness the world has to give,

      Em7        G/A           D    A/C#
but I won't last a day without you.
[Bridge]
Bm9      D/E   E/G#   A       A/C#
Touch me and I end up singing.

Bm9              E7               F#sus  F#
Troubles seem to up and disappear.

    G#m7     C#7                  F#
You touch me with the love you're bringing.

D#m7           E                F#sus  F#
I can't really lose when you're near.

             Em7  A7
(when you're near my love.)
[Verse 3]
D                F#m7
  If all my friends

           G              A
have forgotten half their promises,

            Bm9
they're not unkind,

     Em7          G/A  A
just hard to find.

D               F#m7
  One look at you

G                       A
and I know that I could learn 

               Bm9
to live without the rest,

     Em7            G/A
I've found the best.
[Chorus]
A            D           C/D      G        Em7
When there's no getting over that rainbow,

A       D             C/D             G     Em7
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,

G/A   D               C/D      GM7          D/F#
I can take all the madness the world has to give,

      Em7        G/A           D
but I won't last a day without you.
[Outro]
A            D           C/D      G        Em7
When there's no getting over that rainbow,

A       D             C/D             G     Em7
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,

G/A   D               C/D      GM7          D/F#
I can take all the madness the world has to give,

      Em7        G/A   (break)
but I won't last a day

           D
without you.
