[Verse 1]
Asus2 A Asus2
I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick
A D A Asus2 A
On the cigar - ettes there ...in the ashtray,
Asus2 A
Lying cold the way you left them,
Asus2 A D A Asus2 A
But at least your lips ca - ressed them while you packed,
A7 D
Or a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
D4 D A Asus2 A
That you poured, and didn't drink,
E7
But at least you thought you wanted it,
A Asus2 A
That's so much more than I can say for me!
[Chorus]
A7 D
What a good year for the roses,
E A Asus2 A
Many blooms still linger there,
Bm E A
The lawn could stand another mowing, funny, ...I don't even care,
A7 D E D A
As you turned to walk a - way, as the door behind you clos - es,
A7 Bm
The only thing I have to say,
E A D A/C# E/B
It's been a good year for the ro - ses! | / / / / |

[Verse 2]
Asus2 A
After three full years of marriage,
Asus2 A D A Asus2 A
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed,
Asus2 A
I guess the reason we're not talking
Asus2 A D A Asus2 A
There's so little left to say, we haven't said,
A7 D
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind,
D4 D A Asus2 A
I find I haven't said a word,
E7
From the bedroom, the familiar sound
A Asus2 A
...of a baby's crying ...goes unheard!
[Chorus]
A7 D
What a good year for the roses,
E A Asus2 A
Many blooms still linger there,
Bm E A
The lawn could stand another mowing, funny, ...I don't even care,
A7 D E D A
As you turned to walk a - way, as the door behind you clos - es,
A7 Bm
The only thing I have to say,
E A D A/C# E/B A
It's been a good year for the ro - ses-----------------!
