[A]
I can [A] hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the ciga[D]rettes there in the [A] ashtray
Lying [A] cold the way you left 'em, but at least your lips ca[D]ressed them [A] while you packed
Or the [D] lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't [A] drink
But at [E] least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say [A] for me

{c: }
What a good year for the [D] roses, [E] many blooms still [A] linger there
The lawn could stand another [Bm] mowing, [E] funny I don't even [A] care
As you turn to walk a[D]way, [E] as the door behind you [D] clo[A]ses
The only thing I have to [Bm] say, [E] it’s been a good year for the [A] roses [D]  [A]  [E]  [A]

Intro
{c: }
After [A] three full years of marriage, it's the first time that you [D] haven’t [A] made the bed
I guess the [A] reason we're not talking, there's so little left to say [D] we haven't [A] said
While a [D] million thoughts go racing through my mind, I find I haven't said a [A] word
From the [E] bedroom the familiar sound of a baby's crying [A] goes unheard
{c: }
What a good year for the [D] roses, [E] many blooms still [A] linger there
The lawn could stand another [Bm] mowing, [E] funny I don't even [A] care
As you turn to walk a[D]way, [E] as the door behind you [D] clo[A]ses
The only thing I have to [Bm] say, [E] it’s been a good year for the [A] roses [D]  [A]  [E]  [A]
