Lyrics:

[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] Didnt Drink
but At [e] Least You Thought You Wanted It
thats 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] Its Funny, I Dont 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] Its Been A Good Year For The [d] Roses [a]

[a] After Three Full Years Of Marriage
its The First Time That You [d] Havent [a] Made The Bed
i Guess The Reason Were Not Talkin
theres So Little Left To Say, [d] We [a] Havent Said
while A [d] Million Thoughts Go Runnin Through My Mind
i Find I Havent [a] Spoke A Word
and From The [e] Bedroom Those Familiar Sounds
of Our One Babys Cryin Goes Un-[a]-Heard

repeat Chorus
