[Verse 1]
        Bm                         
        Spring was never waiting 
      D                     C
for us girl, it ran one step ahead
                               Em  
        As we followed in the dance
   Em

          Bm                    
        Between the parted pages 
            D                  
that were pressed in love's hot 
           C
fevered iron
        Like a strip-ed pair of 
 Em     Em     F   G
pants


[Chorus]
           A                       
        MacArthur Park is melting 
      Amaj7
in the dark
        All the sweet green icing 
Em
flowing down
        D
        Someone left the cake out in
 the rain
          E     A
        I don't think that I can 
take it
                 D
        Lord, it took so long to 
bake it
             A                     
        I'll never have that recipe
  F#m      C     Em     Em
 again, oh no!!


[Verse 2]
        Bm                      
        I recall a yellow cotton 
 D                    C
dress foaming like a wave
        On the ground around your 
Em     Em
knees
        Bm                         
        Birds like tender babies in
       D                    C
 your hands, old men playing 
checkers
               Em     Em     F   G
        By the trees


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
           A                       
        MacArthur Park is melting 
      Amaj7
in the dark
        All the sweet green icing 
Em
flowing down
        D
        Someone left the cake out in
 the rain
          E     A
        I don't think that I can 
take it
                 D
        Lord, it took so long to 
bake it
             A                     
        I'll never have that recipe
  F#m      C     Em     Em
 again, oh no!!

 for me, someone will bring it
               F

               C                   
        I will take my life into my

 hands, and I will use it
        G                        
        I will win the worship in 
       G                C        C
their eyes, and I will lose it
               F                   
        I will let my passions flow
 Dm7

                             Cmaj7 
        Like rivers from the sky
   C

            F                      
        But after all the loves of 
   G7
my life

        After all the loves of my

life
                       Bb    
        I'll still be alone,   
G           Am     Am     F   G
wondering why?
