Intro: Cm 


verse 1 
Cm                                          Fm 
If you go away on this summer day, then you might  

as well take the sun away. 
        Bb 
All the birds that flew in the summer sky, when  
    Eb 
our love was new and our hearts were high. 
         Ab                    G 
When the day was young and the nights were long.. 
        Cm 
and the moon stood still for the night bird's song. 
       Ab              G               Cm 
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. 


G          Cm                    Ab 
But if you stay, I'll make you a day, like no day has  
G                 Cm 
been, or will be again. 
Cm                                     Ab 
We'll sail the sun, we'll glide on the rain, we'll talk  
       Bb                       Cm 
to the trees, we'll worship the wind. 



Bridge 
Eb   G      Cm           Db                          Fm 
Then if you go I'll understand, leave me just enough love  
   G       Cm 
to fill my hand. 
       Eb              Fm              G      D G 
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. 


verse 2 
Cm                                           Fm        
If you go away, as I know you will, you must tell the world  
                         Bb 
to stop turning..til you return again, if you ever do, for  
     Eb 
what good is love without loving you. 
      Ab       Db   G                          Cm 
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, I'll be dying slow to  
    Bb 
the next hello. 
       Ab              G               Cm 
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

verse 3 
       Dbm           A        Dbm               Gbm 
If you go away, as I know you must, there'll be nothing left  

in the world to trust. 
        B                                        E 
Just an empty room full of empty space, like the empty look I  

see on your face. 
A        Ab                                  Dbm 
I'd have been the shadow of your shadow if I thought it might  

have kept me by your side.

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

or will be again.

I'll sail on your smile, I'll glide on your touch, I'll talk to  
     B                   E 
your eyes that I love so much. 
    Ab     Dbm               D                    Gbm 
But if you go, I know I will cry, til the good is gone from the
