[Intro] Am Asus2 Am Dm Am Dm E7 Am [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.
[Outro] Am
