[Verse 1]
              Em
If you go a - way ...on this summer day,
         Am
Then you might as well take the sun away,
        D7
All the birds that flew ...in the summer sky,
     G
When our love was new, and our hearts were high,
         Am/C                   B7
When the day was young, and the night was long,
        Em *                        Em7/D
And the moon stood still ...for the nightbird's song,
       Am/C            B7                 Em
If you go away, if you go away, ...if you go away!

[Verse 2]
               Em *       Em7/D      Em6/C#
But, ...if you stay, I'll make you a day...
                B7                   Em
Like no day has been, or will be a - gain,
      B7          Em *       Em7/D       Em6/C#
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
                  D7                     G
We'll talk to the trees, and worship the wind,
B7           Em               F6
Then, if you go, I'll under - stand,
              F#m7-5         B7         Em
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand,
              G                  Am
If you go a - way, if you go a - way,
              B7   B7sus4  B7
If you go a - way!

[Verse 3]
             Em
Ne me quitte pas, il faut oublier,
          Am
Tout peut s'oblier, qui s'enfuit déjà,
        D7
Oubli - er le temps ...des malentendus,
      G
Et le temp perdu, a savoir comment,
        Am/C                          B7
Oubli - er   ces heures ...qui tuai - ent parfois,
  Em *                    Em7/D
A coups de pourquoi ...le couer du Bonheur,
      Am/C              B7
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas,
             Em     A/C#  Em
Ne me quitte pas!

[Verse 4]
               Em *       Em7/D      Em6/C#
But, ...if you stay, I'll make you a night,
                  B7                   Em
Like no night has been, or will be a - gain,
     B7            Em *       Em7/D        Em6/C#
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
                  D7                G
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much,
B7           Em               F6
Then, if you go, I'll under - stand,
              F#m7-5         B7         Em
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand,
              G                  Am
If you go a - way, if you go a - way,
               B7    B7sus4  B7
If you  go a - way!

[Verse 5]
       Em
If you go away, as I know you must,
            Am
There'll be nothing left in this world to trust,
        D7
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
         G
Like the empty look ...I see on your face,
Am/C                        B7
      Oh, I'd have been the shadow of your shadow,
Em *                           Em7/D
      If it might have kept me by   your side,
          Am/C              B7                     Em
...If you go   away, if you go away, if you go a - way!
N.C.
Please, don't go away!
