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