[G]
I can [G] hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the ciga[C]rettes there in the [G] ashtray
Lying [G] cold the way you left 'em, but at least your lips ca[C]ressed them [G] while you packed
Or the [C] lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't [G] drink
But at [D] least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say [G] for me
{c: }
What a good year for the [C] roses, [D] many blooms still [G] linger there
The lawn could stand another [Am] mowing, [D] funny I don't even [G] care
As you turn to walk a[C]way, [D] as the door behind you [C] clo[G]ses
The only thing I have to [Am] say, [D] it’s been a good year for the [G] roses [C] [G] [D] [G]

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