Slow Ballad

5  6   6  6    6   6    6    6  6   6
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
 6  6   6  6  6     -6   4   4   4    5 
On the cigarettes there, in the ash tray
5  6   6   6   6   6   -6   6 
Lyin'cold the way you left 'em
 5  6    6    6     6   6   -6   6
But at least your lips caressed them
  5    6     5    -4 4
While you packed ~~~~~~
-6 -6  -6   -6   -6 -6  -7    -6
Or the lip print on a  half filled
-6  -6  -7 -6  -6   7     
Cup of coffee that you 
  -8    7   7  -6   7   -6 6
Poured and didn't drink ~~~~~
 5  5   -5   -5    -5     5   5 -4  -4 
But at least you thought you wanted it
  5    -5  -5   -5   -4 -4  4   5  -4  -4  4  
That's so much more than I can say for me ~~~

Chorus

 7  -8   9    9  -9   8  -8 7 -6     
What a good year for the ro - ses
-8 -8   -8     -7  -6  6    6    
Man-y blooms still linger there
 7   7     7     7   -7 -6  6   -6  6 -5 
The lawn could stand a-noth-er mow ~~ in'
-7 -6  -5   6   6  5   -6   6  
Funny, I  don't even care ~~~~~
 7  -8   8  -9   9  -9 -6  6 5  
As you turn to walk a-way ~~~~
-7  7   -8   7  -7  -6  7 -6 6 -5  6
As the door behind you clo ~~~~~~ ses
 6  7 -8   8  -9   9  -9  -6             
The only thing I have to say
 6     6  -6  -7   -8   7  -8  8  8 -8 7   7
It's been a  good year for the ro ~~~~~~~ ses

Verse 2

After three full years of marriage
It's the first time that you havn't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin'
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 a baby's cryin' goes unheard

Chorus and fade
