I WONT LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU (Williams & Nichols / The Carpenters) ***COVER***

Intro: A AM7 D Esus E (Guitar tuned half note lower)

(A)Day after (C#m7)day I must (D)face a world of (E7sus E) strangers Where I (F#m7) don't belong, I'm (Bm7) not that strong (Esus E)
(A)It's nice to (C#m7) know that there's (D) someone I can (E7sus E) turn to Who will (F#m7) always care, you're (Bm7) always there (Esus E)

When there's (A) no getting (A7) over that (D) rainbow (Esus E)When my (A) smallest of (A7) dreams won't come (D) true (Esus E) I can (A) take all the (A7) madness the (D) world has to (Dm7) give But I (Bm) won't last a (Esus7) day (E7) without you A AM7 D Esus E

(A) So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's (A) no getting (A7) over that (D) rainbow (Esus E)When my (A) smallest of (A7) dreams won't come (D) true (Esus E) I can (A) take all the (A7) madness the (D) world has to (Dm7) give But I (Bm) won't last a (Esus7) day (E7) without you A AM7 D Esus E

(F#m7) Touch me (B) and I end up (E) singing (C#m)
(F#m7) Troubles seem to (B) up and (C#sus7) disappear (C#7)
You (D#m7) touch me (G#7) with the love you're (C#M7)bringing
(A#m7) I can't really (B) lose when you're (C#sus7) near (C#7)
When youre (Bm7) near (E7) my (A) love

(A)If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find One look at you and I know that I could learn to live Without the rest, I found the best

When there's (A) no getting (A7) over that (D) rainbow (Esus E)
When my (A) smallest of (A7) dreams won't come (D) true (Esus E) I can (A) take all the (A7) madness the (D) world has to (Dm7) give But I (Bm) won't last a (Esus7) day (E7) without you A AM7 D Esus E7
Without you (A)
