Intro
A# F A# F (x2)
[Verse 1]
A#
Sitting here wasted and wounded
F
At this old piano
A#
Trying hard to capture the moment
F
This morning I don't know
Am A#
'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
F
And some blond gave me nightmares
A#
Think that she's still in my bed
A# C F
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
[Verse 2]
A#
With an iron-clad fist
F
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
A#
While some marching band keeps its own beat
F
In my head while we're talking
Am A#
About all of the things, that I long to believe
F
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
A#
And the truth is
A# C F F C C*
Baby, you're all that I need
[Chorus]
Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C A# F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm Dm
For tonight
C A# F
I sleep on a bed of nails
A#
Oh, I want to be
F
Just as close as
A# F
The Holy Ghost is
Dm C A# A#
And lay you down
A# Bb* F
On a bed of roses
[Verse 3]
A#
Well, I'm so far away
F
Each step that I take's on my way home
A#
A King's ransom in dimes
F
I give each night to sing through this payphone
Am
Still I run out of time
A#
Or it's hard to get through
F
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
A#
I'll just close my eyes, and whisper
A# C F F C C*
Baby, blind love is true
[Chorus]
Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C A# F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm Dm
For tonight
C A# F
I sleep on a bed of nails
A#
Oh, I want to be
F
Just as close as
A# F
The Holy Ghost is
Dm C A# A#
And lay you down
A# Bb* F C
On a bed of roses
[Bridge]
A#
Well, this hotel bar hangover
C F
Whiskey's gone dry, the barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
A#
I might have said yeah
A# C F F C C*
But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!...
[Solo]
Dm C A# F (x3)
Dm C A# A# A# Bb* F
[Verse 4]
A#
Now as you close your eyes
F
Know I'll be thinking about you
A#
While my mistress she calls me
F
To stand in her spotlight again
A#
Tonight, I won't be alone
F
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
Dm C A#
I've got nothing to prove for it's you
A# F C
That I'd die to defend
[Chorus]
Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C A# F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm Dm
For tonight
C A# F
I sleep on a bed of nails
A#
Oh, I want to be
F
Just as close as
A# F
The Holy Ghost is
Dm C A# F C
And lay you down
Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C A# F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm Dm
For tonight
C A# F
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
A#
I want to be
F
Just as close as
A# F
The Holy Ghost is!
Dm C A# (Bb)
And lay you down
(Bb) (Bb*) F
On a bed of roses
