[Verse]
If you go away Amon this summer day,
Then you mDmight as well take the sun away
All the bG7irds that flew in the summer sky
When our lCove was newCadd9  C  
And our hCearts were highCadd9  C  
When the dDmay was young,
And the nE7ight was long
And the mAmoon stood stillAm  Amadd9  Am  
For the nAmightbird songAm  Asus4  Am  
If you gDmo away,Dsus2  Dm  
if you gE7o away
If you gAmo awayAm  Dm  E7  Am  
[Chorus]
But if you stAm7ay, I'll make you a dAm6ay
Like no day has bE7een or will be agAm7ain
We'll sail on the sAm7un, we'll ride on the rAm6ain
We'll talk to the trGeesG7  
that wCorship the windE7  
And if you gAmo, I'll understBband
Leave me just enDmough loveDm6  E7  
to fill up my hAmand
If you gCo away, if you gDmo awayDm6  
If you go awE7ayDm6  Dm  E7  
[Verse]
AmIf you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nDmothing left in the world to trust,
Just an Gempty room, full of empty space,G7  
Like the Cempty look I see on your face
Can I tDmell you nowDm7, as you tE7urn to go,
I'll be dAmying slowAm  Amadd9  Am  
til your nAmext hello,Am  Asus4  Am  
If you gDmo away,Dsus2  Dm  
if you gE7o away
If you gAmo awayAm  Dm  E7  Am  
[Chorus]
But if you stAm7ay, I'll make you a nAm6ight
Like no night has bE7een, or will be agAmain
I'll sail on your smAm7ile, I'll ride on your tAm6ouch,
I'll talk to your GeyesG7  
that I love so mCuch.E7  
But if you gAmo, no, I won't crBby,
ThoDmugh the gDm6ood is goneE7  
from the word good-byeAm.
If you gDm6o away, if you gE7o away, if you gAmo away.
