[Bm][D][C][D][Em]
[G][D][C][D]
[Bm]Spring

[Verse 1]
was never waiting for [D]us, girl
It ran one step [C]ahead
As we followed [Em]in the dance
[G][C][Em]
[Bm]Between the parted pages
and [D]were pressed
In love's hot, fevered [C]iron
Like [G]a striped [Em]pair of pants
[G][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[A]MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing [Asus4]flowing down
[D]Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't [A]think that I can take it
'Cause [Bm]it took too long to bake it
[F#m]An d I'll never have that
[A]recipe [D]again
Oh, no!
[C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[Bm]I still see the yellow cotton dres[D]s
Foaming like a wave
On the [C]ground [D]around [Em]your knees[G][C]
[Em]And the bird[Bm]s,
like tender babies in your hand[D]s
And the old men playing [C]checkers [D]by the
[Em]trees
[G][F][G]

[Verse 4]
[A]MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing [Asus4]flowing down
