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