Elvis Costello - Good year for the roses

I can ^Ahardly bare the sight of lipstick On the cigaret^Dtes there In the ^Aashtray ^ALyin' cold the way you left them But at least your lips carr^Dessed them While you ^Apacked Or the ^Dlip print on a half-filled cup of coffee That you poured and didn't ^Adrink But at ^E7least you thought you wanted it That's so much more than I can say for ^Ame

What a good year for the ^Droses ^E7Many blooms still linger ^Athere The lawn could stand another ^Bm7mowing ^E7Funny, I don't even ^Acare As you turned to walk a^Dway ^E7As the door behind you ^Dclos^Aes The only thing I have to ^Bm7say ^E7It's been a good year for the ^Aros^Des ^{A/C# E7 A D/A A}

After ^Athree full years of marriage It's the first time that you ^Dhaven't Made the ^Abed ^AI guess the reason we're not talking There's so little left to ^Dsay, We haven't ^Asaid While a ^Dmillion thoughts go racing through my mind I find I haven't said a ^Aword From the ^E7bedroom the familiar sound Of our baby's crying goes un-hear^Ad

What a good year for the ^Droses ^E7Many blooms still linger ^Athere The lawn could stand another ^Bm7mowing ^E7Funny, I don't even ^Acare As you turned to walk a^Dway ^E7As the door behind you ^Dclos^Aes The only thing I have to ^Bm7say ^E7It's been a good year for the ^Aro-^Do-^A/C#ses ^{E7 A}
