### PART I ###

Verse 1:
         Am                           C/G                      Bb      
	Spring was never waiting for us girl,it ran one step ahead
                               Am 
	As we followed in the dance
                                             C/G                        Bb
	Between the parted pages that were pressed in loves hot fevered iron
                                 Am     D#   F 
	Like a strip-ed pair of pants


Chorus:
         G
	Mac Arthur Park is melting in the dark
                                    Bb       
	All the sweet green icing flowing down
         C/G 
	Someone left the cake out in the rain
           D      G  
	I don't think that i can take it
                 C/G
	Cause it took so long to bake it
              G                       Em      Bb  
	I'll never have that recipe again,Oh no !!


Verse 2:
         Am                       C/G                  Bb
	I recall a yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave
                                   Am 
	On the ground around your knees  
                                          C/G                    Bb
	Birds like tender babies in your hands,old men playing checkers
                 Am    D#   F 
	By the trees


Chorus.

          F                                              Bb

           F                                             Bb
	I will win the worship in their eyes,and i will lose it
                Gm
	I will let my passions flow 
     Cm                       Bb 
	Like rivers from the sky
        G#                             F7   
	But after all the loves of my life
        Bb                         
	After all the loves of my life
                        G#             Bb          
	I'll still be alone,wondering why ?
