Am
If you go away on this summer day
Dm E7
Then you might as well take the sun away
G7 E7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
Am
When our love was new and our hearts were high
Dm E7
When the day was young and the night was long
Am
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
Dm E7 Am E7 Am
If you go away if you go away if you go away if you go away
Am
If you go away as i know you will
Dm E7
you must tell the world to stop turning Till
G7 E7
you return again if you ever do
Am
for what good is love without loving you
Dm E7
Can i tell you now as you turn to go
Am
i'll be dying slowly till the next hello
Dm E7 Am E7 Am
If you go away if you go away if you go away if you go away
Am F
But if you stay i'll make you a night
E7 Am
Like no night has been or will be again
Am F
I'll sail on your smile i'll ride on your touch
G7 E7
I'll talk to your eyes that i love such
Am Gm
But if you go i won't cry
F E7 Am
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
C Dm E7
If you go away if you go away if you go away if you go away
Am
If you go away as i know you must
Dm E7
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
G7 E7
Just an empty room full of empty space
Am
Like the empty look i can see on your face
Dm E7
I'd have been the shadow of your dog If i
Am
thought it might have kept me here by your side
Dm E7 Am E7 Am
If you go away if you go away if you go away if you go away
