[Verse]
G      Bm                       D   
Spring was never waiting for us girl
                C                           Em   
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Bm                                D      
Between the parted pages and were pressed
                      C                            Em   
In love's hot fevered iron like a stripped pair of pants
F G     A                                 
■ ■ Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark
                           Em      Em7 
All the sweet green rising flowing down
D                                    
Someone left the cake out in the rain
            A                            
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
   D                      
It took so long to bake it
A                          Gbm      C  Em
I'll never had that recipe again oh no ■ 


[Chorus]

[Verse]
Bm                         D    
I recall the yellow cotton dress
               C                              Em   
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
    Bm                               D    
And birds like tender babies in your hands
            C                       Em   
The old man playing checkers by the trees
F G A                                     
■ ■ Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark
                           Em          
All the sweet green rising flowing down
D                                    
Someone left the cake out in the rain


[Chorus]
            A                            
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
D                         
It took so long to bake it
     A                     Gbm        
I'll never had that recipe again oh no


[Inst]

[Bridge]

[Verse]
G                               G7              C     Cmaj7
There will be another dream for me someone will bring it   
       F                          D   
I will taste the wine while it is warm
                           C                 
And never let you catch me looking in the sun
F                             G   
But after all the loves of my life
C                         Am                       Bb  G
After all the loves of my life you'll still be the one ■
       C                    Am               F     
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
       G G7                                       C      
I will ■ win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
F                    D Dm7                  Cmaj7 C
And my passions flow ■ like rivers from the sky   ■
F                             G7   C                         Am  
But after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life
              Bb    G         Am 
I'll still be along wondering why
F G A7         A                          
■ ■ Mac Arturh Park is melting in the dark
                           Em          
All the sweet green rising flowing down
D                                    
Someone left the cake out in the rain


[Chorus]
            A                            
But I don't think that I can take it Lord
D                         
It took so long to bake it
     A                     Gbm   C     Em7 Em Gb
I'll never had that recipe again oh no ■   ■  ■
