A D A

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray

A D A

Lyin' cold the way you left them but at least your lips caressed them while you packed

D A

And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink

E A

But at least you thought you wanted it an' that's so much more than I can say for me

Chorus:

D

But what a good year for the roses

E A

Many blooms still linger there

Bm

The lawn could stand another mowin'

E A

It’s funny, I don't even care

D

When you turned and walked away

E D A

And as the door behind you closes

Bm

The only thing I know to say

E A D Bm D A

It's been a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage it's the first time that you haven't made the bed

I guess the reason we're not talkin': there's so little left to say, we haven't said

An' while a million thoughts go runnin' through my mind, I find I haven't spoke a word

And from the bedroom, the familiar sound of our one baby's cryin', goes unheard

Chorus
