Dm Dm Eb Gm Dm F Spring was never waiting for us, girl Eb It ran one step ahead Gm Gm Bb Ab Gm As we followed in the dance Dm F Between the parted pages and were pressed, Eb In love's hot, fevered iron Gm Gm Bb Ab Gm Like a striped pair of pants C C7M MacArthur Park is melting in the dark C11 All the sweet, green icing flowing down... F F7M Someone left the cake out in the rain C and I don't think that I can take it Dm7 'cause it took so long to bake it C C7M C and I'll never have that recipe again Eb Oh, no! Dm F I recall the yellow cotton dress Eb foaming like a wave Gm Gm Bb Ab Gm on the ground around your knees Dm F The birds, like tender babies in your hands Eb Gm Gm Bb Ab Gm and the old men playing checkers by the trees C C7M MacArthur Park is melting in the dark C11 All the sweet, green icing flowing down... F F7M Someone left the cake out in the rain C and I don't think that I can take it Dm7 'cause it took so long to bake it C C7M C and I'll never have that recipe again Eb Oh, no! F F7M There will be another song for me Bb Bbm For I will sing it Bb There will be another dream for me F7M F Someone will bring it Bb Gm I will drink the wine while it is warm Am D7 and never let you catch me looking at the sun Gm C11 And after all the loves of my life F7M F Bb after all the loves of my life Eb C11 You'll still be the one. F F7M I will take my life into my hands Bb Bbm and I will use it Bb I will win the worship in their eyes F7M F and I will lose it Bb Gm I will have the things that I desire Am D7 and my passion flow like rivers through the sky. Gm C11 And after all the loves of my life F7M F Bb After all the loves of my life Eb I'll be thinking of you Dm and wondering why. F Bb F7M MacArthur Park is melting in the dark F F7 All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Bb Someone left the cake out in the rain Dm and I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it G7 Bbm and I'll never have that recipe again F C11 Ab Oh, no! Oh no
