_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
[Bb] _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ [Eb] _ [Dm] Spring was never waiting [F] for us, girl
It ran [Eb] one step ahead as we followed in the [Gm] dance
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Fm] _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ [Eb] _ [Dm] Between the parted pages that were [F] pressed
In love's [Eb] hot, fevered iron, [Bb] like a [Gm] striped pair of pants
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet [F] green icing's [Gm] blowing [F] down
Someone let the cake out in the rain
I [C] don't think that I can take [Dm] it
Cause it took so long to bake [C] it
And I'll never have that recipe [F] again _ [Eb] Oh no _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] I [Db] _ _ [Dm] recall the yellow cotton [F] dress
Foaming like [Eb] a wave on the ground [Gm] around your knees
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Gm] _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Dm] The birds like tender babies in [F] your hands
And the old moon [Eb] playing checkers _ [Gm] by the trees
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green [F] icing's [Gm] blowing down
[F] _ Someone let the cake out in the rain
I [C] don't think that I can take it
[Dm] Cause it took so long to bake it
[C] And I'll never have that recipe [F] _
again [Eb] Oh no _ _ _ _

will be another song for me
[Bb] For I will sing it
_ _ There will be another dream for me
[F] Someone will bring it
I [Bb] will drink the wine [Gm] while it is warm
And never let you [Am] catch me looking at the sun
[D] _ _
[Gm] After all the [C] love's of my life
_ [F] After all the love's of [Bb] my life
You'll still be the [Eb] one
[C] I _
_ [F] will take my life into my hands
[Bb] And I will use it
_ I will run the world shaping my eyes
[F] And I will lose it
I [Bb] will have the [Gm] things that I desire
My [A] passion for life withers through the [D] sky
And [G] after all the love's of my [C] life
[F] Oh after all the love's of [Bb] my life
I'll be thinking [Eb] of you
And _ [D] wondering why _ _ _

_ [F] _ Park is melting in the [Am] dark
All the sweet rain [Cm] I see is flowing down
[Bb] Someone left the cake out in the rain
I [Dm] don't think that I can [F] take it
