Intro: Em G F Am F Am C C/B Em G F Am F Am C C/B

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
     D7M9    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
      D7M9     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

     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
       F7M         Am  Am7+      D7  Cdim     Em
I'll be thinking of you         and wondering why
