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