The Day You Leave Me

Words & Music by Cy Coleman & C. Gore
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1985


G      G/F#      Em7        Am7            D7
On the day you leave me, it still will be spring,

C     C/B      Am7     Am7/G    Cdim   G   Am7   G   B7
Roses will be blooming,      and rob - ins will sing,

Em              B+        Em9           A7
Subways will be running, doorbells will ring,

Am7 Cdim    D7       Am7 Cdim   D7
And  all in all, the sky won't fall.

   Bm7-5      E7-9  E7      C      C/B
The sun won't suddenly grow colder

    Am7     Cdim            D7
Without your arm around my shoulder.


G      G/F#     Em7            Am7            D7
On the day you leave me, there still will be stars,

C     C/B      Am7   Am7/G    Cdim   G   Am7  G   B7
Fog in San Francisco,     and rock - ets to Mars.

Em              B+        Em9        A7
Balconies and moonlight, Spanish guitars --

Am7 Cdim      D7    Am7 Cdim   D7
But will they be of any use to me?

Bb    Gm7  Fdim  Cm7         F7    Cm7    F7   C#m7  E7     AM7
For I know      after you've gone, some - how, life will go on.

G      G/F#    Em7           C9    CM7    Cm7            
How it will continue, I just don't have a clue

C      C/B   Am7   Cdim  G
On the day I don't have you.
