[Bm] [D]
[C] [Em] Spring [F#] was never waiting [D] for us, girl It ran one [C] step ahead as we followed [Em] in the dance
[Bm] Between the parted pages [D] and we're pressed In love's [C] hot fevered eye like a striped [Em] pair of pants
[F]
[A] Carpet park is melting in the dark [A] All the sweet green [Em] ice flowing down
[D] Someone left the cake out in the rain I [A] don't think that I can take [D] [A]
[F#m] it
[C] Oh no
[Em]
[B] I recall a yellow [D] cotton dress Forming [C] like a wave on the ground [Em] around your knee
[B] Birds like tender babies [D] in your hands Old [C] men playing checkers by [Em] the tree
[F] [G] [A] Carpet park is melting in the dark All the sweet green ice [Em] flowing down
[D]
Someone left the cake out in the rain I [A] don't think that I can take it
[D] Lord it took so long to bake [A] it I'll never have that recipe [F#m] again
[C] Oh no
[Em]
[D] [C]
There will be another song for [Am] me And [F] I will sing it
[G]
There will be another dream for me Someone will bring
I [C]
[F] will taste the wine while it is [Dm] warm And never let [C] you catch me looking the sun
[F] But after all the loves of [G] my life
[C] After all the loves of [Am] my life
You'll still be [A#] the one [G] I [C] will take my life into [Am] my hand
And [F] I will use it I
[G] will win the worship in their eyes
And [C] I will lose it I [F] will let my passions flow
[Dm] Like rivers [C] from the sky [C]
[F] But after all the loves [G] of my life
[C] After all the loves [Am] of my life I'll still [A#] be alone
[G]
[Am] Wandering wild
[F] [A] Carpet park is melting in the dark All the sweet green [Em] ice flowing down
[D] Someone left the cake out in the rain I [A] 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] again
[C] Oh no
