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