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