Rhythm tips ↓↑-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

If you [Am]go away on this summer day Then you [Dm]might as well take the sun away All the [G7]birds that flew in the summer sky When our [C]love was [C]new and our [C]hearts were [C]high When the day was [Dm]young and the night was [E7]long And the [Am]moon stood still for the night bird’s song If you [Dm7]go away, if you [E7]go away, if you [Am]go away

But if you [Am7]stay, I’ll make you a [Am]day (night) Like no day has [E7]been, or will be a[Am]gain We’ll sail the [Am7]sun, we’ll ride on the [Am]rain We’ll talk to the [G7]trees and worship the [C]wind Then [E7]if you [Am]go, I’ll under[Bb]stand Leave me just enough [Dm]love to [E7]fill up my [Am]hand If you [C]go away, if you [Dm]go away, if you go [E7]away [D] [E7]

If you [Am]go away as I know you will You must [Dm]tell the world to stop turning ’til you [G7]return again if you ever do For what [C]good is love without loving you? Can I [Dm]tell you now as you turn to [E7]go I’ll be [Am]dying slowly ’til the next hello If you [Dm7]go away If you [E7]go away If you [Am]go away

But if you [Am7]stay, I’ll make you a [Am]day (night) Like no day has [E7]been, or will be a[Am]gain We’ll sail your [Am7]smile, we’ll ride on the [Am]touch We’ll talk to your [G7]eyes and I love so [C]much But [E7]if you [Am]go, I won’t [Bb]cry Though the [Dm]good is gone from the [E7]world good [Am]bye If you [C]go away, if you [Dm]go away, if you go [E7]away [D] [E7]

If you [Am]go was i know you must There’ll be [Dm]nothing left In the world to trust Just an empty [G7]room Full of empty space Like the [C]empty look I see on your face I’d have [Dm]been your shadow if I though it [E7]might Have [Am]kept me here, by your side If you [C]go away, if you [Dm]go away, [E7]Please don’t [Am]go away
