If You Go Away chords by Emiliana Torrini

Chords with lyrics

If you go away on this summer day

     DmDm
Then you might as well take the sun away;

     G7G7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky

     C9C9    C majorC      C9C9     C majorC
When our love was new and our hearts were high;

         Dm6Dm6           E7E7
When the day was young and the night was long

    A minorAm
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song,

     Dm7Dm7        E7E7 Dm6Dm6  A minorAm
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

      Am7Am7          Am6Am6
But if you stay, I'll make you a day

        E7-9       A minorAm
Like no day has been or will be again;

         Am7Am7         Am6Am6
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain,

          G7G7          C majorC
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.

   E7E7   A minorAm       Bb majorBb
Then if you go, I'll understand,

           Dm6Dm6   E7E7     A minorAm
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,

      C majorC     DmDm  Dm6Dm6       E7E7 D6D6 E7E7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


    A minorAm
If you go away, as I know you will,

     DmDm           DmDm+7
You must tell the world to stop turning til

   G7G7
You return again, if you ever do,

     C majorC
For what good is love without loving you?

    Dm6Dm6             E7E7
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go,

     A minorAm
I'll be dying slow til your next hello,

      Dm7Dm7       E7E7  Dm6Dm6  A minorAm
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

       Am7Am7         Am6Am6
But if you stay, I'll make you a night

         E7-9       A minorAm
Like no night has been, or will be again;

          Am7Am7           Am6Am6
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,

          G7G7         C majorC
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.

  E7E7   A minorAm        Bb majorBb
But if you go, no, I won't cry,

      Dm6Dm6          E7E7     A minorAm
Though the good is gone from the word good-bye.

      C majorC     DmDm Dm6Dm6       E7E7  D6D6  E7E7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

     A minorAm
If you go away, as I know you must,

      DmDm
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,

       G7G7
Just an empty room, full of empty space,

     C majorC
Like the empty look I see on your face;

    Dm6Dm6                E7E7
I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might

   A minorAm
Have kept me here, by your side;

      C majorC       DmDm    E7-9     A minorAm
If you go away, if you go away . . . please don't go away.
