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