I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the [E] cigarettes there [B] in the ashtray
Lying cold the way you left them, but at least your lips [E] caressed them [B] while you packed
[E] And 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 [C#] been a good year [E] for the 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#]
as the door [E] behind you closes
[B] The only thing I [C#m] know to say, [F#] it's been a good [B] year for the [F#] roses
[B]
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
[E] While 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 [C#] while a good year [E] for the 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 you turn to [E] walk away, [F#] 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
