INTRO:C

VERSE:
CI (x32010@1)can hardly stand the sight of lipstick
           F (133211@1)                 Con (x32010@1)the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
Lying cold the way you left them,
                          Fbut (133211@1)at least your lips caressed them
 C (x32010@1)               C7while (x32310@1)you packed.
       FOr (133211@1)the lip print on a half-filled cup
of coffee that you poured
     Cand (x32010@1)didn't drink.
        GBut (320003@1)at least you thought you wanted it
                                      Cwhich (x32010@1)is so much more than I can say for me.

CHORUS:
                               F (133211@1)      GIt's (320003@1)been a good year for the roses
                  CMany (x32010@1)blooms still linger there.
                             Dm (xx0231@1)      GThe (320003@1)lawn could stand another mowing
                          Cit's (x32010@1)funny, I don't even care
                      F (133211@1)         GBut (320003@1)as you turned and walked away
                       F (133211@1) CAs (x32010@1)the door behind you closes
                            Dm (xx0231@1)      GThe (320003@1)only thing I thought to say
                            F (133211@1)Cis (x32010@1)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:
