Intro DmDm FF D#D# G minorGm Bb majorBb

Verse 1

DmDm               FF
Spring was never waiting for us girl,
        D#D#             G minorGm  Bb majorBb
it ran one step ahead, as we followed in a dance.
DmDm                FF Dm7?
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
           D#D#               G minorGm  Bb majorBb
in love's hot fevered iron, like the striped pair of pants.
DmDm             Dm7Dm7
I recall the yellow cotton dress,
        D#D#               G minorGm  Bb majorBb
foaming like a wave, on the ground around your knees.
DmDm                  FF Dm7?
And birds like tender babies in your hand,
           D#D#       G minorGm  Bb majorBb G#G# Bb majorBb
and old men playing checkers, by the trees.

Chorus 1

C majorC                 Cmaj7Cmaj7
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark,
              Bb majorBb
all the sweet green iceings flowing down.
FF
Someone left the cake out in the rain.
 G+G   C majorC
I don't think that I can take it.
     DmDm
cause it took so long to bake it.
     C majorC           FF   D#D#  C#C# D#D# FF
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh nooo.

Verse 2

FF               Fmaj7Fmaj7     DmDm  Bb majorBb
There will be another song for me, for I will sing it.
 BbmBbm                       Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
There will be another dream for me, someone will bring it.
 Bb majorBb
I will drink the wine while it is warm
G minorGm     Bb majorBb        A minorAm        D7D7
and never let you catch me looking in the sun.
  G minorGm            Bb majorBb
and after all the loves of my life,
 Fmaj7Fmaj7           Bb majorBb            D#D#  G#G#  C majorC
after all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one.

Verse 3

    G+G          B minorBm        C majorC  Cmaj7Cmaj7
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it.
  Am6Am6                       D MajorD  G+G
I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it.
    C majorC
I will have the things that I desire,
Cmaj7Cmaj7 A minorAm        B minorBm        E MajorE
and my passion flow like rivers to the sky.
 E7E7 A minorAm             C majorC
And after all the loves of my life,
     G+G            C majorC
woah... after all the loves of my life,
           FF    D MajorD     E minorEm  G+G Bb majorBb C majorC
I'll be thinking of you, and wondering why.
