[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 E7 From the bedroom the familiar sound A Of our 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 have to say E7 A D A/C# E7 A It's been a good year for the ro-o-ses
