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