Verse 1.
A
I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick
D A
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lying cold the way you left them
D A
But at least your lips carressed them while you packed
D
And a 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 know 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 A
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking
D A
There's so little left to say, we haven't said
D
While a million thoughts go running through my mind
A
I find I haven't said a word
E7
From the bedroom the familiar sound
A
Of our one baby's crying goes un-heard
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 know to say
E7 A D A/C# E7, A
It's been a good year for the ro- o- ses
