A GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES
COUNTING CROWS

STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO
INTRO:C
VERSE:
C
I can hardly stand the sight of lipstick
F C
on the cigarettes there in the ashtray.
Lying cold the way you left them,
F
but at least your lips caressed them
C C7
while you packed.
F
Or the lip print on a half-filled cup
of coffee that you poured
C
and didn't drink.
G
But at least you thought you wanted it
C
which is so much more than I can say for me.
CHORUS:
F G
It's been a good year for the roses
C
Many blooms still linger there.
Dm G
The lawn could stand another mowing
C
it's funny, I don't even care
F G
But as you turned and walked away
F C
As the door behind you closes
Dm G
The only thing I thought to say
F C
is what 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 that we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racing through my mind
I guess I haven't said a word
From the bedroom, the familiar sound
of our one baby's crying goes unheard
CHORUS:
F G
It's been a good year for the roses
C
Many blooms still linger there.
Dm G
The lawn could stand another mowing
C
it's funny, I don't even care
F G
But as you turned and walked away
F C
As the door behind you closes
Dm G
The only thing I thought to say
F C
is what a good year for the roses
F - C
