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