E             B         C#m    A
You can never hold back spring

You can be sure I will never stop believing
A                          E
The blushing rose, it will climb
A                      E
Spring ahead or fall behind
A                                   F#m
Winter dreams the same dream, every time
     E             B7         E
Baby you can never hold back spring

To the one who's dreaming of you
E                B7     Cdim  C#m     A
And you can never hold back spring
         E               B     Cdim  C#m   A
Remember everything that spring can bring
     E             B7    Cdim  C#m   A
Baby you can never hold back spring
     E            B7   B/AE
                         (VII)
Baby you can never hold back spring
