A Good Year For The Roses Chords by George Jones

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick [E] on the cigarettes there in [B] the edge tray
_ Lying _ cold the way you left them, but at least [E] your lips caressed them [B] while we packed _ _ _ _ _
[E] And a lip print on a high-filled cup of coffee that you poured and [B] didn't drink _ _ _ _
But [F#] at least you thought you wanted it, and that's so much more than I can [B] say for me
_ _ It's been [C#m] a good [D#] year for [E] the roses, _ [F#] many blooms still [B] angry there
The lawn could stand another [C#m] mowing, _ _ [F#] funny I don't [B] even care
_ When [C#] you turn [D#] to [E] walk away, _ _ [F#] and as the door [E] behind you [B] closes
_ The only thing [G#m] I [C#m] know to say, _ _ [F#] it's been a good year [B] for the roses _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] After three full [B] years of marriage, it's the first [E] time that you [C#] haven't [B] been _ to bed
I guess the reason we're not talking, there's so little [E] left to say we [B] haven't said _ _ _ _
[E] While a million thoughts go racing through my mind, I find I haven't spoke [B] a word _ _ _ _
And from the [F#] bedroom [C#m] the familiar [F#] sound of our one baby's crying [B] goes unheard
But [C#m] what a [D#] good year [E] for the roses, [F#] _ many blooms still [B] angry there
The lawn could stand [C#m] another mowing, _ [F#] _ funny I [B] don't even care
_ _ And [C#m] when you [D#] turn to [E] walk away, _ [F#] and as the door [E] behind you [B] closes
_ The only thing I [C#m] know to say, _ _ [F#] it's been a good [B] year for the [E] roses
