E                     C#m
If you ever leave me, I'll be sad and blue
G#m			    F#m	             G+
Don't you ever leave me, I'm so in love with you

     E		 G#m	      C#m
The birds in the sky would be sad and lonely
         E	  G#m     C#m
If they knew that I lost my one and only,
    	   A	        B7      E G#m B7
They'd be sad if you're bad to me

    E		  G#m	       C#m
The leaves on the trees would be softly sighin'
         E	       G#m            C#m
If they heard from the breeze that you left me crying,
    	   A	        B7     E
They'd be sad don't be bad to me

	        A			  B7
But I know you won't leave me 'cause you told me so,
E		      C#7
I've no intention of letting you go,
 A		     B7	             F#m       G+
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me

        E	    G#m	        C#m
So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely
              E       G#m      C#m
'Cause they know that I got my one and only
             A		   B7     Bm C#7
They'll be glad you're not bad to me

           F#m             B7      E G#m F#m B7
They'll be glad you're not bad to me
    E G#m F#m B7
To me
    E G#m F#m B7
To me
