INTRO:C VERSE:
C
I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick

           F                   C
on the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
Lying cold the way you left them,
                          F
but at least your lips caressed them

 C                 C7
while you packed.

       F
Or the lip print on a half-filled cup
of coffee that you poured
     C
and didn't drink.

        G
But at least you thought you wanted it

                                      C
which is so much more than I can say for me.
CHORUS:
                               F        G
It's been a good year for the roses

                  C
Many blooms still linger there.

                             Dm        G
The lawn could stand another mowing

                          C
it's funny, I don't even care

                      F           G
But as you turned and walked away

                       F   C
As the door behind you closes

                            Dm        G
The only thing I thought to say

                            F  C
is what a good year for the roses
VERSE: After three, four years of marriage it's the first time that you haven't made the bed I guess the reason we're not talking, is there's so little left to say that we haven't said While a million thoughts go racing through my mind I guess I haven't said a word From the bedroom, the familiar sound of our one baby's crying goes unheard CHORUS:
                               F        G
It's been a good year for the roses

                  C
Many blooms still linger there.

                             Dm        G
The lawn could stand another mowing

                          C
it's funny, I don't even care

                         F           G
But as you turned and walked away

                       F   C
As the door behind you closes

                            Dm        G
The only thing I thought to say

                        F         C
is what a good year for the roses
