              Intro:  A7M A A7M D7M D D7M  
 
A7M  A  A7M       E7/6  F#m      D7M  D6 D9 
In   an   April dream once you came to me 
E7   D9  D7M       E7     Bm5-/7     E7/9- 
When you smiled, I looked into your eyes 
Fdim  F#m  F#m/E  Cdim   B7     F7  E7 
And I knew        I'd be loving you and 
A7M   A  A7M       E7/13   Fdim   E7    Bm5-/7  E7/9-  Fdim      A7M 
Then you touched my hand, and I learned April dreams can come true  
D9  E7 A7M  D9    A7M    D9  E7    A7M      D9   E7/9-   Fdim E7 
Are we just April fools, who can't see all the danger around us 
D9  E7   A7M  D9    A7M   F#7       D     Bm5-/7 E7/9-     Fdim  E7 A  
If we're just April fools, I don't care  true love has found us now           .  
A7M A  A7M    E7/6  F#m      D7M   D6    D9 
Little did we know where the road would lead 
E7   D9  D7M    E7              Bm5-/7 E7/9- Fdim    F#m  F#m/E   
Here we are, a million miles away     from the past 
Cdim   B7     F7   E7 
Traveling so fast now 
A7M     A  A7M     E7/13  Fdim   E7   Bm5-/7      E7/9-  Fdim  A7M 
There's no turning back, if our sweet  April dream doesn't last 
D9  E7 A7M  D9    A7M    D9  E7    A7M      D9   E7/9-   Fdim E7 
Are we just April fools, who can't see all the danger around us? 
D9  E7   A7M  D9    A7M   F#7       D     Bm5-/7 E7/9-     Fdim E7 A  
If we're just April fools, I don't care  true love has found us now
