[Verse 1]
A
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
D
On the cigarettes there
A
In the ashtray
A
Lyin' cold the way you left them
D
But at least your lips carressed them
A
While you packed
D
Or the lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
A
That you poured and didn't drink
E7
But at least you thought you wanted it
A
That's so much more than I can say for me
[Chorus]
D
What a good year for the roses
E7 A
Many blooms still linger there
Bm7
The lawn could stand another mowing
E7 A
Funny, I don't even care
D
As you turned to walk away
E7 D A
As the door behind you closes
Bm7
The only thing I have to say
E7 A D A/C# E7 A D/A A
It's been a good year for the roses
[Verse 2]
A
After three full years of marriage
D
It's the first time that you haven't
A
Made the bed
A
I guess the reason we're not talking
D
There's so little left to say,
A
We haven't said
D
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind
A
I find I haven't said a word
