When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
GCdimCEdimG
Of moods and myths and il - lu - sion - ar - y schemes
EmB7
Though now I'm much more grown up
EmB7
I fear that I must own up
D9A7
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
D9Am7D7
What the modern cynics shout of.
[Refrain]
GG/EAm7D7GG/EAm7CdimD7
They say it's spring, this feeling light as a feather;
EmGdimB7EmGdimB7
They say this thing, this magic we share together
AmEmCCdim
Came with the weather, too.
[Verse 2]
GG/EAm7D7GG/EAm7CdimD7
They say it's May that's made me daft as a daisy;
EmGdimB7B7/F#EmGdim
It's May, they say, that gave the whole world
B7AmEmCCdim
This crazy, heavenly, hazy hue.
[Bridge]
F#7B7
I'm a lark on the wing
F#7GdimF#7
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling
FdimCAmEdimGE7
Yet to me, this must be
CC/BAm7Am7/GB7CdimD7
Something more than a sea - son - al thing.
[Verse 3]
GG/EAm7D7GG/EAm7CdimD7
Could it be spring, those bells that I can hear ringing?
EmGdimB7B7/F#EmGdimB7
It may be spring, but when the robins stop singing
CdimEmB7
You're what I'm clinging to
EdimGG/EAm7CdimGGFdimCCdimGG/BAm7Cdim
Though they say it's spring, it's you.
[Refrain]
GG/EAm7D7GG/EAm7CdimD7
If poets sing, that when a heart's sym - pa - thet - ic
EmGdimB7B7/F#EmGdimB7
It's merely spring, then poets plights are pa - thet - ic
AmEmCCdim
Though I'm poetic too,
[Verse 4]
GG/EAm7D7GG/EAm7CdimD7
They say it's spring -- for lovers, there's where the lure is,
EmGdimB7B7/F#EmGdimB7
That evil thing for which Sep - tem - ber the cure is,
AmEmCCdim
This they are sure is true;
[Bridge]
F#7B7
Though I know that it's so
F#7GdimF#7
That my fancy may turn in the spring,
FdimCAmEdimGE7
With the right one in sight
CC/BAm7Am7/GB7CdimD7
One can find a per - pet - u - al thing.
[Outro]
GG/EAm7D7GG/EAm7CdimD7
Did I need spring to bring the ring that you bought me?
EmGdimB7B7/F#EmGdimB7
Thought it was spring that marvelous day that you caught me,
CdimEmB7
Darling, I thought we knew,
EdimGG/EAm7CdimGGFdimCCdimGG/BAm7CdimG6
That it wasn't spring, 'twas you.
