Intro: Dm Dm/C Eb/Bb Cm7 Bb F Gm Bb G# Bb Gm G# C# Eb  
   
Dm                               Dm/C   
Spring was never waiting, for us girl   
                  Eb/Bb   
it ran one step a head  
                      Gm    Bb G# Bb Gm G# C# Eb  
As we followed in the dance   
Dm                                Dm/C   
Between the parted pages and were pressed   
                      Eb/Bb   
In love's hot fevered iron   
                       Gm    Bb G# Bb  
Like a striped pair of pants    
   C                             Cmaj7   
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark   
                           Gm7          C7  
All the sweet green icing, flowing down   
F                                Fmaj7   
Someone left the cake out in the rain   
        C/E   
I don't think that I can take it   
         Dm7   
Cause it took so long to bake it   
         C/E                     Fmaj7   
And I'll never have that recipe again   
    Eb Cm7 C# Eb C#    
Oh, no   
Dm                         Dm/C                      
I recall the yellow cotton dress   
               Eb/Bb               
Foaming like a wave   
                           Gm    Bb G# Bb Gm G# C# Eb  
On the ground, around your knees   
    Dm                                Dm/C   
The birds like tender babies, in your hands   
                        Eb/Bb       
And the old men playing checkers   
       Gm    Bb G# Bb   
By the trees   
   C                             Cmaj7   
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark   
                           Gm7          C7  
All the sweet green icing, flowing down   
F                                Fmaj7   
Someone left the cake out in the rain   
        C/E   
I don't think that I can take it   
         Dm7   
Cause it took so long to bake it   
         C/E                     Fmaj7   
And I'll never have that recipe again  
    Eb     
Oh, no

And I will use    it

I will win the worship in their eyes    
           Am7  F  
And I will lose it

    Gm                        C4/7 C7   
And after all the loves of my life   
    Fmaj7                     Bbmaj7   
Oh, after all the loves of my life   
                    Ebmaj7 C7/4               Dm  C4/7 C7  
I'll be thinking of you,        and wondering why

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark   
                           Cm7          F7  
All the sweet green icing, flowing down   
Bb                               Bbmaj7   
Someone left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it   
         Gm7   
Cause it took so long to bake it
