Without You

Words & Music:

Tom Evans & Pete Ham

 

Many thanks to correspondent Bill, who pointed out that Harry Nilsson had the biggest hit with this song, but it was actually the two members of ill-starred Badfinger who wrote it.  Credit now goes to where it is long overdue.

 

F  Dm7  [2x]

 

        F                                  Dm7

Well, I can't forget this evening and your face as you were leaving.

       Gm7                                 A7+

But, I guess that's just the way the story goes.

           A7                Dm               Bb

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows.

        F6   FM9   C9   C7   C9   C7

Yes, it shows.

 

No, I can't forget tomorrow, when I think of all my sorrow.

Well, I had you there and then I let you go.

And now it's only fair that I should let you know what you should know.

 

CHORUS:

        F       Dm

I can't live if living is without you.

        Gm            C9      C7

I can't give, I can't give anymore.

I can't live if living is without you.

I can't give, I can't give anymore.

 

Well, I can't forget this evening and your face as you were leaving.

But, I guess that's just the way the story goes.

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows.

Yes, it shows.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]
