Em G
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
F Am F Am C C/B
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Em G
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
F Am F Am C C/B
In love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants
D D4 D D9 D D7M
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
D7M/9 D7M Dm7/9 D D7
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
G Am7 D9 G
Someone left the cake out in the rain
Em7 A7 D A7
I don't think that I can take it
Em7 F#m7
'Cause it took so long to bake it
Bm7 Bm7/E G G/F# F D7
And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no
Em G
I recall the yellow cotton dress.
F Am F Am C C/B
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
Em G
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
F Am F Am C C/B
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
D D4 D D9 D D7M
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
D7M/9 D7M Dm7/9 D D7
All the sweet, green icing flowing down

There will be another song for me, for I will sing it
Cdim D7 Cdim G9 G
There will be another dream for me someone will bring it

I will drink the wine while it is warm,
Am7 Cdim Am7 Bm E7
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
Am Am7+ Am7 D7 Am7
And after all the loves of my life
G G/F# C7M C7M/9 F7M
After all the loves of my life you'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands, and I will use it
Cdim D7 Cdim G9 G
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it.
C7M Am7
I will have the things that I desire
Cdim Am7 Bm E7
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
Am Am7+ Am7 D7 Am7 G G/F# C7M
And after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life

I'll be thinking of you and wondering why.
