If You Ever Leave

Em7 (020000)

[Verse 1]
C/G            G
Walking out together
C/G            G
All along the shore
C/G                    G           G/F#  Em      Em7
Arm in arm beneath the cliffs that tower above us
D
We hear the breakers roar
C/G                G
Here we found each other
C/G              G
Here we made our home
C/G               G        G/F#     Em       Em7
Took the sea, the sky, the sun, the summertime
D
Made it all our own

[Chorus 1]
D             C    G G/F# Em      Em7
If you ever leave         If you ever
C           G G/F# Em      Em7
     leave me      If you ever
C          G G/F# Em Em7
     leave, my dear
D
There's nothing for me here

[Verse 2]
C/G                       G
The storms that pound the harbor
C/G                      G
Scatter driftwood on the beach
C/G                    G      G/F#   Em     Em7
A million stars that fill the winter night sky
D
Seem just beyond our reach
C/G                 G
Tides of time march onward
C/G                      G
Just as sunshine follows rain
C/G                 G  G/F# Em          Em7
The season's ever changing, ever moving on
D
Yet our love remains

[Chorus 2]
D             C    G G/F# Em      Em7
If you ever leave         If you ever
C           G G/F# Em      Em7
     leave me      If you ever
C          G G/F# Em Em7
     leave, my love
D
You can take the stars above

[Chorus 3]
D             C    G G/F# Em      Em7
If you ever leave         If you ever
C           G G/F# Em      Em7
     leave me      If you ever
C          G G/F# Em Em7
     leave, my love
D
Then you can bring the curtain down
         C/G       G
On this lonesome town
