Emiliana Torrini – If You Go Away chords

AmIf you go away on this summer day 

         DmThen you might as well take the sun away;

         G7       All the birds that flew in the summer sky 

         C9        C            C9         CWhen our love was new and our hearts were high;

                  Dm6                     E7When the day was young and the night was long

        AmAnd the moon stood still for the nightbird's song,

          Dm7               E7  Dm6    AmIf you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

           Am7                   Am6But if you stay, I'll make you a day 

                E7-9              AmLike no day has been or will be again;

                  Am7                 Am6   We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain, 

                   G7                    CWe'll talk to the trees and worship the wind.

     E7     Am             BbThen if you go, I'll understand, 

                     Dm6      E7         AmLeave me just enough love to fill up my hand,

            C          Dm   Dm6             E7  D6  E7If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.



       AmIf you go away, as I know you will, 

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

      G7You return again, if you ever do, 

          CFor what good is love without loving you?

       Dm6                         E7Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, 

         AmI'll be dying slow til your next hello,

           Dm7             E7   Dm6    AmIf you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

             Am7                 Am6But if you stay, I'll make you a night 

                  E7-9              AmLike no night has been, or will be again;

                   Am7                      Am6I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, 

                   G7                 CI'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.

    E7     Am               BbBut if you go, no, I won't cry, 

           Dm6                   E7         AmThough the good is gone from the word good-bye.

            C          Dm  Dm6              E7   D6   E7If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


         AmIf you go away, as I know you must, 

            DmThere'll be nothing left in the world to trust,

              G7Just an empty room, full of empty space, 

          CLike the empty look I see on your face;

        Dm6                               E7I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might 

      AmHave kept me here, by your side;

            C              Dm        E7-9         AmIf you go away, if you go away . . . please don't go away.
