A Good Year For The Roses

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