[N] [Bm] Hey!
[E]
I've come hard a bit to see the picture
All those [A] cigarettes there [E] in the ash tray
Lying cold away in a lantern
But at least your lips [A] caressed them [E] while you panned
And the [A] sad side of a half-filled cup of coffee
That you poured and [E]
didn't bring
But [B] at least you thought you wanted it
That's so much more than I can [E] say for me
It's been a good year [A] for roses
[B] Many balloons still [E] linger there
One could stand [F#m] another more aware
[B] Funny, I don't [E] even care
As you turn to walk [A]
away
[B] As the dark behind [A] you [E] closes
The only thing I [F#m] have to say
[B] It's been a good year [E] for the roses
[A] [E] [F#m]
[E]
After three, four years of marriage
It's the first time that you [A] ever
[E] laid in bed
I guess the reason we're not talking
There's so little [A] left to say [E] we haven't said
While [A] a million thoughts go racing through my mind
I find I [E] haven't said a word
And from the [B] bedroom the familiar sound
Of our babies crying [E] goes unheard
But what a good year for the [A]
roses
[B] Many balloons still [E] linger there
One could stand [F#m] another more aware
[B]
Funny, I don't even [E]
care
As you turn to [A] walk away
[B]
As the dark behind you [A]
closes
[E] The only thing I [F#m] have to say
