Gm
If you go away on this summer day 
 
         Gm
Then you might as well take the sun away;
 
         C7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky 
 
         F9        F            F9         F
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
 
                  Gm6                     A7
When the day was young and the night was long
 
        Gm
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song,
 
          Gm7               A7  Gm6    Gm
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
 
           Dm7                   Dm6
But if you stay, I'll make you a day 
 
                A7-9              Gm
Like no day has been or will be again;
 
                  Dm7                 Dm6
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain, 
 
                   C7                    F
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.
 
     A7     Gm             D#
Then if you go, I'll understand, 
 
                     Gm6      A7         Gm
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,
 
            F          Gm   Gm6             A7  G6  A7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
 
 
 
       Gm
If you go away, as I know you will, 
 
          Gm                     Gm+7
You must tell the world to stop turning til
 
      C7
You return again, if you ever do, 
 
          F
For what good is love without loving you?
 
       Gm6                         A7
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, 
 
         Gm
I'll be dying slow til your next hello,
 
           Gm7             A7   Gm6    Gm
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
 
             Dm7                 Dm6
But if you stay, I'll make you a night 
 
                  A7-9              Gm
Like no night has been, or will be again;
 
                   Dm7                      Dm6
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, 
 
                   C7                 F
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.
 
    A7     Gm               D#
But if you go, no, I won't cry, 
 
           Gm6                   A7         Gm
Though the good is gone from the word good-bye.
 
            F          Gm  Gm6              A7   G6   A7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
 
 
         Gm
If you go away, as I know you must, 
 
            Gm
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
 
              C7
Just an empty room, full of empty space, 
 
          F
Like the empty look I see on your face;
 
        Gm6                               A7
I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might 
 
      Gm
Have kept me here, by your side;
 
            F              Gm        A7-9         Gm
If you go away, if you go away . . . please don't go away.
