Good Year For The Roses

        A
I can hardly bare the sight of 
lipstick
              D               
On the cigarettes there in the 
  A
ashtray
Lying cold the way you left them
                           D    
But at least your lips carressed 
                 A
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
That's so much more than I can say 
    A
for me

                        D
What a good year for the roses
E7                       A
Many blooms still linger there
                             Bm7
The lawn could stand another mowing

  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                            
  It's been a good year for the

roses



      A
After three full years of marriage
                              D    
It's the first time that you 
           A
haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talking
                          D      
There's so little left to say, we 
         A
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
Of our one baby's crying goes 
   A
un-heard


                  D
What a good year for the roses

  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
