I can (A)hardly bare the sight of lipstick
On the ci(D)garettes there in the (A)ashtray(Asus4)(A)
Lying cold the way you left them
But at least your lips car(D)ressed them while you (A)packed(Asus4)(A)
And a (D)lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't (A)drink(Asus4)(A)
But at (E7)least you thought you wanted it
That's so much more than I can say for (A)me(Asus4)(A)

What a good year for the (D)roses (Dsus4)(D) 
(E7)Many blooms still linger (A)there(Asus4)(A)
The lawn could stand another (BM7)mowing
(E7)Funny, I don't even (A)care 
As you turned to walk a(D)way(Dsus4)(D)
As the (E7)door behind you (D)clo(A)ses(Asus4)(A) 
The only thing I know to (BM7)say 
(E7)It's been a good year for the (A)ro(D)ses (A/C#)(E7)(A)(D/A)(A)

After (A)three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you (D)haven't made the (A)bed(Asus4)(A)
I guess the reason we're not talking
There's so little left to (D)say, we haven't (A)said(Asus4)(A)
While a (D)million thoughts go racing through my mind
I find I haven't said a (A)word(Asus4)(A)
From the (E7)bedroom the familiar sound 
Of our one baby's crying goes un(A)heard(Asus4)(A)

What a good year for the (D)roses (Dsus4)(D) 
(E7)Many blooms still linger (A)there(Asus4)(A)
The lawn could stand another (BM7)mowing
(E7)Funny, I don't even (A)care 
As you turned to walk a(D)way(Dsus4)(D)
As the (E7)door behind you (D)clo(A)ses(Asus4)(A) 
The only thing I know to (BM7)say 
(E7)It's been a good year for the (A)ro(D)ses (A)(E7)(A)

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
