Introdução:  A7   D   E   E7  

             A                                                                                                     D                         A 
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
                                                                                                                   D                                               A           A7 
  Lyin' cold the way you left them but at least your lips caressed them while you packed
                 D                                                                                                                       A                       A7 
  And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
                 D                                                                                                                                             A         A7 
  But at least you thought you wanted it an' that's so much more than I can say for me
                                                           D         E 
But what a good year for the roses
                                         A                     A7 
  Many blooms still linger there
                                                             D           E 
  The lawn could stand another mowin'
                                                       A       A7 
  It's funny, I don't even care
                                                         D       E 
  When you turned and walked away
                                                         A         A7 
  And as the door behind you closes
                                                     D     E 
  The only thing I know to say
                                                               A 
  It's been a good year for the roses
                                                                                                                                 D                               A 
After three full years of marriage it's the first time that you haven't made the bed
                                                                                                                                   D                             A         A7 
  I guess the reason we're not talkin': there's so little left to say, we haven't said
                           D                                                                                                                                         A       A7 
  An' while a million thoughts go runnin' through my mind, I find I haven't spoke a word
                             D                                                                                                         A                       A7 
  And from the bedroom, the familiar sound of our one baby's cryin', goes unheard
                                                           D         E 
But what a good year for the roses
                                         A                     A7 
  Many blooms still linger there
                                                             D           E 
  The lawn could stand another mowin'
                                                       A       A7 
  It's funny, I don't even care
                                                         D       E 
  When you turned and walked away
                                                         A         A7 
  And as the door behind you closes
                                                     D     E 
  The only thing I know to say
                                                               A 
  It's been a good year for the roses
