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

And lay you
down

On a bed of roses
