[Am]
If you go away on this summer day, then [Dm] you might as well [C] [Dm]
take the sun away, [C] [G] all the [Em] birds
that flew in the [G] summer [Em] sky when [C] our love was new and our hearts were high [F] and [Dm]
the day
was young and the [E] night was long and [Am] the moon stood still [Em] for the night [Am] bird's song.
[F] [Dm] If you go away, [E] if you go away, [Am] if you go away.
[Ab] But if you [Am] stay,
[C] I'll make you a [Am] day like no [Dm] day [D] has been or [Am] will be again.
We'll [C] sail the sun, we'll ride [Am] on the rain and [G] talk to the trees [Em] and [E] worship the wind.
[Am] Then if you go, I'll [Bb] understand, leave me [Dm] just enough love [E]
to [Am] fill up my hand.
[G] If you go away, [Dm] if you go away, [E] if you go away,
[Am] [E]
if you go [Am] away.
As I know you will, you [Dm] must, till the [Am] world, [Dm] to stop turning, [F]
[G] turning, [Em] till you return again.
[G]
[Em] If you ever do [C] for, what good is love without [G] loving you?
[F] [B] [Am] Can I tell you now, [E] as you turn to go, [Am] I'll be dying slowly, [G] till the [Am] next hello.
[F] If you go away, [E] if you go away, [Am] if you go away.
[A]
[Am] But if you stay, I'll make you a night like no night [D] has been or will be [Am] again.
I'll sail on your smile, I'll glide on your touch, I'll talk to [G] your eyes that I [Em] love so [E] much.
Then [Am] if you go, I [Bb] won't cry, though the [Dm] good is gone [E] from the [Am] word goodbye.
[G] If you go away, [Dm] if you go away, [F] if you [E] go away, [F]
[E]
if you go [C]
away.
[Em]
As I know you [E] must, [Dm] there'd be nothing left [D] in this world to trust.
[G] Just an empty room, full of empty space, like [C] the empty look I see on your face.
[B] And I'd have been the shadow [E]
of your shadow, [Am]
if you might have kept me by your side.
[F] If you go away,
[Dm] if [E] you go away, if [G] you go
[Am] away.
