G Cdim C Edim G
When I was young I lived in a world of dreams
G Cdim C Edim G
Of moods and myths and il - lu - sion - ar - y schemes
Em B7
Though now I'm much more grown up
Em B7
I fear that I must own up
D9 A7
To the fact that I'm in doubt of
D9 Am7 D7
What the modern cynics shout of.
[Refrain]
G G/E Am7 D7 G G/E Am7 Cdim D7
They say it's spring, this feeling light as a feather;
Em Gdim B7 Em Gdim B7
They say this thing, this magic we share together
Am Em C Cdim
Came with the weather, too.
[Verse 2]
G G/E Am7 D7 G G/E Am7 Cdim D7
They say it's May that's made me daft as a daisy;
Em Gdim B7 B7/F# Em Gdim
It's May, they say, that gave the whole world
B7 Am Em C Cdim
This crazy, heavenly, hazy hue.
[Bridge]
F#7 B7
I'm a lark on the wing
F#7 Gdim F#7
I'm the spark of a firefly's fling
Fdim C Am Edim G E7
Yet to me, this must be
C C/B Am7 Am7/G B7 Cdim D7
Something more than a sea - son - al thing.
[Verse 3]
G G/E Am7 D7 G G/E Am7 Cdim D7
Could it be spring, those bells that I can hear ringing?
Em Gdim B7 B7/F# Em Gdim B7
It may be spring, but when the robins stop singing
Cdim Em B7
You're what I'm clinging to
Edim G G/E Am7 Cdim G G Fdim C Cdim G G/B Am7 Cdim
Though they say it's spring, it's you.
[Refrain]
G G/E Am7 D7 G G/E Am7 Cdim D7
If poets sing, that when a heart's sym - pa - thet - ic
Em Gdim B7 B7/F# Em Gdim B7
It's merely spring, then poets plights are pa - thet - ic
Am Em C Cdim
Though I'm poetic too,
[Verse 4]
G G/E Am7 D7 G G/E Am7 Cdim D7
They say it's spring -- for lovers, there's where the lure is,
Em Gdim B7 B7/F# Em Gdim B7
That evil thing for which Sep - tem - ber the cure is,
Am Em C Cdim
This they are sure is true;
[Bridge]
F#7 B7
Though I know that it's so
F#7 Gdim F#7
That my fancy may turn in the spring,
Fdim C Am Edim G E7
With the right one in sight
C C/B Am7 Am7/G B7 Cdim D7
One can find a per - pet - u - al thing.
[Outro]
G G/E Am7 D7 G G/E Am7 Cdim D7
Did I need spring to bring the ring that you bought me?
Em Gdim B7 B7/F# Em Gdim B7
Thought it was spring that marvelous day that you caught me,
Cdim Em B7
Darling, I thought we knew,
Edim G G/E Am7 Cdim G G Fdim C Cdim G G/B Am7 Cdim G6
That it wasn't spring, 'twas you.
