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