A Good Year For The Roses - Heidi Hauge chords
Jam Along & Learn...
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the [A] cigarettes there in [E] the ashtray
Lying cold away you left them, but at least your lips caressed them while you pecked
[A] And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that I pour [E] and didn't drink
[B] But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say [E] for me
[A] for the [B] roses, many blooms still [E] lingered there
[F#m] all the moving, [B] funny I don't [E] even care
away, [B] as the door behind you [E] closes
thing I [F#m] know to say, it's been a good year [E] for the [A] roses

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the [A] cigarettes there in [E] the ashtray _ _ _ _
Lying cold away you left them, but at least your lips caressed them while you pecked
_ _ _ [F#] _
[A] And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that I pour [E] and didn't drink _ _ _ _ _
[B] But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say [E] for me
_ _ It's [F#] been a good year [A] for the _ _ [B] roses, many blooms still [E] lingered there
The long-constant and [F#m] all the moving, _ _ [B] _ funny I don't [E] even care
_ And when you turn [A] _
away, _ _ [B] as the door behind you _ [E] closes
_ _ The only thing I [F#m] know to say, _ it's been a good year [E] for the [A] roses

After three full years of marriage, it's the first time [A] that I haven't [E] made a bed _ _ _
I guess the reason we're not talking, there's a little left to say we haven't said
_ _ _ And [A] while a million thoughts are racing through my mind, I find I [E] haven't spoken a word _ _ _
[B] And from the bedroom the familiar sounds of our warm babies crying [E] most are on her
_ But [F#] what a good year [A] for the roses, _ [B] _ many blooms still [E] lingered there
_ The long-constant and [F#m] all the moving, _ _ [B] _ funny I don't [E] even care
And when you turn and [A] walk away, _ [B] as the door [A] behind you [E] closes
_ _ The only thing I [F#m] know to say, _ it's been a good [E] year for the _ [A] roses _ _ _
