I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick [E] on the cigarettes [B] there in the ashtray
_ _ Lying cold the way you left them, but at least [E] your lips caressed them [B] while you packed _ _ _ _
And [E] a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and [B] didn't drink _ _ _ _ _
[F#] But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can [B] say for me
_ It's been a good day [E] for roses, _ [F#] many blooms still [B] linger _ there
The lawn gets turned [C#m] another month, _ _ [F#] _ funny I [B] don't even care
_ _ When you turn to [E] walk _ away, [F#] and as the door [E] behind you closes
[B] _ The only thing I [C#m] know to say, _ _ [F#] it's been a good year [B] for the [F#m] roses

After three full years of marriage, it's the first [E] time that you [B] haven't made the bed
_ I guess the reason we're not talking, there's so little [E] left to say, [B] we haven't said
_ _ While [E] a million thoughts go racing through my mind, I find I haven't [B] spoke a word _ _ _
And [F#] from the bedroom the familiar sound of our one baby's crying [B] goes _ unheard
But while a good year [E] for roses, _ [F#] many blooms still [B] linger _ there
The lawn gets turned [C#m] another month, _ _ [F#] _ funny I don't [B] even care
_ _ And when [C#m] you [B] turn to [E] walk _ away, [F#] and as the door behind [E] you [B] closes
_ The only thing I know [C#m] to say, _ [F#] it's been a good year for [B] the [E] roses
