[Verse 1]
[Am]Spring [F]was[Am][F][Am][Bb][C][Dm]
[F][Eb][F]
[Eb]neve[Bb]r wai[Am]ting for us, girl[C][Am]
[Gsus4]It ran one step a[C]head[Bb]
As we followed in [Dm]the dance
[F][Eb][Bb]
[Am]Between the parted pages
and [C]were pressed
In love's hot, fevered [Bb]iron
Like a striped pair of [Dm]pants[F]
[Eb][F]

[Verse 2]
[G]
MacArthur's Park is melting
in the dark
All the sweet, green icing [F]flowing down
[Gsus4]Someone l[C]eft the cake out in the rain
I [D]don't [G]think that [Bm]I can [G]take it
'Cause it [Am]took so long to bake it
And I'll [G]never [Bm]have that [G]recipe [C]again
[Bb]Oh n[Gm]o![Ab][Eb][Bb][Ab]

[Verse 3]
[Am]I recall the yellow cotton dress[C]
Foaming like a [Bb]wave
On the ground around [Dm]your knees[F][Bb]
The [Am]birds,
like tender babies in your hands
And the [Gsus4]old men playi[C]ng check[Bb]ers by
the trees
[Dm][F][Eb][F]

[Verse 4]
[G]
MacArthur's Park is melting
in the dark
All the sweet,
green icing [Gsus4]flowing down
[C]Someone left the cake out in the rain
I [D]don't [Bm]think that I can take it
[G]'Cause it too[Am]k so long to bake it
And I'll [G]never have that recipe [C]again

[Interlude 1]
Oh no!

[Verse 5]
[C]There will be another song for me
For I [F]will sing it
[Fdim]There will be another dream for me
[Bb]Someone will [Em]bring [C]it
I will [F]drink the wine while it is warm
[Bdim]And never let you catch
[Em]me looking at the sun
[Asus4]And after[A] al[G]l[A][Dm]
the loves of my [Gsus4]life
[C]After all the loves of my [F]life
You'll still be the one
[Bb]

[Verse 6]
[Gsus4]
I will [C]take my life into my hands
and I [F]will use it
[Fdim]I will win the worship i[Fm]n
[Fdim]their eyes and I[Bb] will lo[Em]se i[C]t
I will [F]have the things that I [Bdim]desire
And my passion flow like
[Em]rivers through the sky
[Asus4]And after[A] all the[Dm]
loves of my [Gsus4]life
Oh, [C]after all the loves of my [F]life
I'll be thinking of [Bb]you[Gsus4]
And won[G]dering [Am]why
