A Good Year For The Roses

• A

A I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick 
on the cigar-{D}-ettes there A in the ashtray 
lyin? cold the way you left them 
at least your lips caress-{D}-ed them A while you packed 
 
And a D lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee 
that you poured and A didn?t drink 
but at E least you thought you wanted it 
that?s so much more than I can say A for me 
 
Chorus: 
     But what a good year for the D roses 
     E many blooms still linger A there 
     the lawn could stand another D mowin? 
     E it?s funny, I don?t even A care 
     and when you turned and walked D away 
     E and as the door behind you D closes A 
     the only thing I know to D say 
     E it?s been a good year for the D roses A 
 
A After three full years of marriage 
it?s the first time that you D haven?t A made the bed 
I guess the reason we?re not talkin? 
there?s so little left to say, D we A haven?t said 
while a D million thoughts go runnin? through my mind 
I find I haven?t A spoke a word 
and from the E bedroom those familiar sounds 
of our one baby?s cryin? goes un-{A}-heard 
 
Repeat Chorus
