Version 1 Version 2 Version 3"I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU" Words & Music by Paul Williams & Roger Nichols Originally performed by The Carpenters [Verse 1] D F#m7 Day after day G A I must face a world of strangers Bm9 where I don't belong; Em7 G/A A I'm not that strong. D F#m7 It's nice to know G A that there's someone I can turn to Bm9 who will always care; Em7 G/A you're always there. [Chorus] A D C/D G Em7 When there's no getting over that rainbow, A D C/D G Em7 when my smallest of dreams won't come true, G/A D C/D GM7 D/F# I can take all the madness the world has to give, Em7 G/A D but I won't last a day without you. F#m7 G G/A A D F#m7 D/F# G G/A G [Verse 2] D F#m7 So many times G A when the city seems to be Bm9 without a fiendly face, Em7 G/A A a lonely place, D F#m7 it's nice to know G A that you'll be there if I need you, Bm9 and you'll always smile; Em7 G/A it's all worth while. [Chorus] A D C/D G Em7 When there's no getting over that rainbow, A D C/D G Em7 when my smallest of dreams won't come true, G/A D C/D GM7 D/F# I can take all the madness the world has to give, Em7 G/A D A/C# but I won't last a day without you. [Bridge] Bm9 D/E E/G# A A/C# Touch me and I end up singing. Bm9 E7 F#sus F# Troubles seem to up and disappear. G#m7 C#7 F# You touch me with the love you're bringing. D#m7 E F#sus F# I can't really lose when you're near. Em7 A7 (when you're near my love.) [Verse 3] D F#m7 If all my friends G A have forgotten half their promises, Bm9 they're not unkind, Em7 G/A A just hard to find. D F#m7 One look at you G A and I know that I could learn Bm9 to live without the rest, Em7 G/A I've found the best. [Chorus] A D C/D G Em7 When there's no getting over that rainbow, A D C/D G Em7 when my smallest of dreams won't come true, G/A D C/D GM7 D/F# I can take all the madness the world has to give, Em7 G/A D but I won't last a day without you. [Outro] A D C/D G Em7 When there's no getting over that rainbow, A D C/D G Em7 when my smallest of dreams won't come true, G/A D C/D GM7 D/F# I can take all the madness the world has to give, Em7 G/A (break) but I won't last a day D without you. [Coda] F#m7 G G/A A D F#m7 D/F# G G/A D
