[Intro]
A D C#m E7 A
[Verse 1]
A
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick,
A D A E A
on the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
A
Lying cold the way you left them,
A D A E A
at least your lips caressed them, while you packed.
[Verse 2]
A D
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee,
D A E A
that you poured and didn't drink.
A E
But at least you thought you wanted it.
E A
That's so much more than I can say for me.
[Chorus]
A D
But what a good year for the roses.
E A
Many blooms still linger there.
A Bm
The lawn could stand another mowing.
E A
It's funny, I don't even care.
A D
When you turned and walked away.
E D A
And as the door behind you clo-ses.
A Bm
The only thing I know to say;
E A D
It's been a good year for the ro-ses.
[Interlude]
C#m E7 A
[Verse 3]
A
After three full years of marriage,
A D A
it's the first time that you haven't made the bed.
A
I guess the reason we're not talking,
A D A E A
there's so little left to say we, haven't said.
[Verse 4]
A D
While a million thoughts go running through my mind,
D A
I find I haven't spoke a word.
E
And from the bedroom those familiar sounds,
E A
of our one baby's crying goes unheard.
