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