Tom : A
Intro 2x: 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
[Refrão]
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
[Próxima Parte]
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
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
D E
The only thing I know to say
A
It's been a good year for the roses
