Verses: 

G         C 
Beautiful fragile 
G               C 
Summer blossoms in a frost 
G           C 
Open to the world 
C               G 
Brief and lovely 
G           C 
A momentary spark  

G              C 
Leaves in fall 
C              G 
Fire on the sky  
G              C 
Blaze our memory 
C                G 
With a visual tattoo  

G 
To keep at bay  
     C 
The dreary of  
G                  C 
Bleak and cold and blue 


Pre-Chorus 

D 
But we can keep warm 
all year long  
C 
I know how to  
D                    C   D 
Every each day through... 

Chorus:  

C                  D 
I want to do with you  
      F                    G  G/F# 
What spring does with the cherry trees 
C                D 
I want to do with you  
F 
What spring does  
C                  D 
I want to do with you  
      F                    G  G/F# 
What spring does with the cherry trees 
C                D 
I want to do with you  
F 
What spring does  


Bridge: 

C                            D     G 
Sometimes our love is like a mountain 
C 
Solid and steep 
Em        D/F# 
Grounded in heat 
C                            D    G  
And sometimes we rage like a river 
Em        D/F#         C     D 
Cold and fast then quiet and deep 
C 
We ride the storm  
D 
'Cause when it's through  
C 
We have changed  
D 
And love is new...  

(Repeat Chorus)
