I Won't Last A Day Without You Paul Williams The Carpenters

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)

Maureen McGovern recorded the song and released it as a single in 1973 (included on her album, The Morning After), achieving minor success. It became a hit single for The Carpenters in 1974.

In 1972, Richard Carpenter learned of a new song from his partners, Paul Williams and Roger Nichols (composed the famous We've Only Just Begun and Rainy Days and Mondays) and put it on their A Song for You album..."

I'm an old Carpenter fan, and no one should try and re-do a carpenter song, except you!

You nailed this song. Great job!

[ParadiseEarth1]

Wow, thanks so much for your kind message. All the best in trying to form a band, hope to hear you soon. :^)

He didn't sing this to compete with the Carpenters.

He sings it as a reminder of how the world still misses Karen and a tribute to her memory.

He simply sings it honest and true from his heart.

Think it simply is great from the heart and soul.
