Intro

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

Oh, I want to be

Just as close as

And lay you down

I wanna lay
F# Fb B
You down in a bed of roses

For tonight
