Good year for the roses - Elvis Costello       The very best of 

Intro, A |||  A |||      
A                                                                                                   D             A
I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes,there in the ashtray.
                                                             D           
Lying cold the way you left them, but at least your lips caressed them 
A
while you packed
        D                                                                   A
And the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn’t drink
       E                    
But at least you thought you wanted it
                                                                       A  -  Asus4  -  A
Which is so much more than I can say for me




Refrein: 
                                                   D          E                         A
It’s been a good year for the roses, many blooms still linger there
                             Bm                    E7                                             A -  Asus4  -  A  
The lawn could stand another mowing, it’s funny, I don’t even care
                                                        D          E                       D  A
But as you turned and walked away,  as the door behind you closes
                            Bm                        E7                                      A - D – Bm -  A
The only thing I thought to say: it’s been a good year for the roses



Verse: 
After three, four years of marriage it’s the first time that you haven’t made the bed
I guess the reason we’re not talking, is there’s so little left to say
we haven’t said
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind I find I haven’t said a word
From the bedroom, the familiar sound 
of our own baby’s crying goes unheard



Refrein: 
                                                    D            E                         A
But what a good year for the roses, many blooms still linger there
                             Bm                    E7                                     A -  Asus4  -  A  
The lawn could stand another mowing, funny, I don’t even care
                                                D    E                       D  A
as you turned and walked away, as the door behind you closes
                            Bm                        E7                            A - D – Bm - A 
The only thing I thought to say: it’s been a good year for the roses
