I Won't Last a Day Without You Carpenters
I'm a pianist and vocalist so this is chorded for the piano.
I'm not sure if it translates to the guitar.
"I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU"
Words & Music by Paul Williams & Roger Nichols
Originally performed by The Carpenters
[D] Day after day[F#m7]
I must [G]face a world of [A]strangers
where I [Bm9]don't belong;
I'm [Em7]not that strong.[G/A] [A]
[D] It's nice to [F#m7]know
that there's [G]someone I can [A]turn to
who will [Bm9]always care;
you're [Em7]always there.[G/A]
CHORUS:
[A]When there's [D]no getting o[C/D]ver that [G]rainbow,[Em7]
[A]when my [D]smallest of dr[C/D]eams won't come [G]true,[Em7]
[G/A]I can [D]take all the mad[C/D]ness the [G7]world has to [D/F#]give,
but I [Em7]won't last [G/A]a day without [D]you.
[F#m7] [G] [G/A] [A] [D] [F#m7] [D/F#] [G] [G/A] [G]
[D] So many times[F#m7]
when the [G]city seems to [A]be
without a [Bm9]fiendly face,
a [Em7]lonely place,[G/A] [A]
[D] it's nice to [F#m7]know
that you'll [G]be there if I [A]need you,
and you'll [Bm9]always smile;
it's [Em7]all worth while.[G/A]
CHORUS:
[A]When there's [D]no getting o[C/D]ver that [G]rainbow,[Em7]
[A]when my [D]smallest of dr[C/D]eams won't come [G]true,[Em7]
[G/A]I can [D]take all the mad[C/D]ness the [G7]world has to [D/F#]give,
but I [Em7]won't last [G/A]a day without [D]you.[A/C#]
BRIDGE
[Bm9]Touch me [D/E]and I [E/G#]end up [A]singing.[A/C#]
[Bm9]Troubles seem to [E7]up and disappear.[F#sus] [F#]
You [G#m7]touch me [C#7]with the love you're [F#]bringing.
[D#m7]I can't really [E]lose when you're [F#sus]near.[F#]
(when you're [Em7]near [A7]my love.)
[D] If all my frien[F#m7]ds
have forgot[G]ten half their [A]promises,
they're not [Bm9]unkind,
just [Em7]hard to find.[G/A] [A]
[D] One look at yo[F#m7]u
[G]and I know that I could [A]learn
to live without[Bm9] the rest,
I've [Em7]found the best.[G/A]
CHORUS:
[A]When there's [D]no getting o[C/D]ver that [G]rainbow,[Em7]
[A]when my [D]smallest of dr[C/D]eams won't come [G]true,[Em7]
[G/A]I can [D]take all the mad[C/D]ness the [G7]world has to [D/F#]give,
but I [Em7]won't last [G/A]a day without [D]you.
[A]When there's [D]no getting o[C/D]ver that [G]rainbow,[Em7]
[A]when my [D]smallest of dr[C/D]eams won't come [G]true,[Em7]
[G/A]I can [D]take all the mad[C/D]ness the [G7]world has to [D/F#]give,
Em7 G/A (break)
but I won't last a day
without you[D].
[F#m7] [G] [G/A] [A] [D] [F#m7] [D/F#] [G] [G/A] [D]
