[A] [E]
[A] [A] I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the [D] cigarettes and [A] penny [E] ashtrays.
[A] Lying cold the way you left them, at least your lips [D] caressed them while you [E] passed.
[A] [D] And I have filled a cup of coffee that you poured and didn't [A] even drink.
[E]
[A] [E] But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can [A] say for me.
[E]
[A] But what a good year [D] for the roses,
[E] any blooms will [A] linger there.
The lawn could stand [Bm] another mowing,
[E] it's funny I don't [A] even care.
When you turned and walked [D] away,
[E] as the door [D] behind you [A] closes,
The only thing I [Bm] know to say,
[E] it's been a good year [A] for the [D] roses.
[C#m] [D] [A] [E]
[A] After three, four years of marriage, it's the first time that [D] you [A] haven't made the bed.
I guess the reason we're not talking, there's so little left [D] to say we [A] haven't said.
[D] While a million thoughts go running through my mind, I find I haven't [A] spoke a word.
And [E] from the bedroom those familiar sounds of our one baby's crying [A] goes unheard.
But what a good year [D] for the roses, [E] any blooms [A] will linger there.
The lawn could stand [Bm] another mowing,
[E] it's funny I don't [A] even care.
And when you turned and [D] walked away,
[E] as the door [D] behind you [A] closes,
The only thing I [Bm] know to say, [E] it's been a good year [A] for the [D] roses.
