[A] [D] [C#m] [Bm] .
[A] .
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the [D] cigarettes there [A] in the [E] ashtray.
[A] .
Lime cold the way you let them, at least your lips [D] caressed them [A] while you packed.
[E] [A] .
[D] And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured [A] and didn't drink.
[E] [A] .
[E] Well, at least you thought you wanted that so much more than I can [A] say for you.
But what a good year [D] for the roses.
[E] Many blooms [A] still linger there.
A lawn could stand [Bm] another mowing.
[E] It's funny, I don't [A] even care.
But when you turned and [D] walked away,.
[E] as the door behind [D] you [A] closes,.
the only thing I [Bm] know to say,.
[D] [E] it's been a good year [A] for the [D] roses.
[C#m] [Bm] .
[A] [Bm] [A] .
After three full years of marriage,.
it's the first time that [D] you [A] haven't made the bed.
.
I can guess the reason we're not talking.
There's so little left [D] to say we [A] haven't said.
[E] [A] .
[D] While a million thoughts go running through my mind,.
I find I haven't [A] spoke a word.
[E] [A] .
And from [E] the bedroom, those familiar sounds of our one baby's crying [A] goes unheard.
But what a good year [D] for the roses.
[E] Many blooms still [A] linger there.
A lawn could stand [Bm] another mowing.
[D] [E] Funny, I don't [A] even care.
And when you turned to [D] walk away,.
[E] and as the door behind [D] you [A] closes,.
