Introdução: 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 
There will be another dream for me  someone will bring it 
     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 
  Am           Am7+       Am7   D7 Am7  
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     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   A7   D9  Am7 D9 
And I'll never have that recipe again   Oh, no,  oh no
