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