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  
       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 
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

G               G/F#         Em      Em7     C7M  C7M/9 
There will be another song for me, for I will sing it 
Cdim                            D7        Cdim      G9   G

        C7M                                             
I will drink the wine while it is warm 
      Am7   Cdim    Am7       Bm                   E7 
And never let you catch me looking at the sun

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 
Cdim    G       G/F#         Em     Em6             C7M C7M/9                    
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 
        F7M          Am  Am7+ D7    Cdim      Em  
I'll be thinking of you         and wondering why 
   A7 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
