[Intro]

Bb F Bb F (x2)

[Verse 1]

Bb
Sitting here wasted and wounded
F
At this old piano
Bb
Trying hard to capture the moment
F
This morning I don't know
Am Bb
'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
F
And some blond gave me nightmares
Bb
Think that 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 iron-clad 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

[Chorus]

Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C Bb F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm 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 Bb
And lay you down
Bb Bb* F
On a bed of roses

[Verse 3]

Bb
Well, I'm so far away
F
Each step that I take's on my way home
Bb
A King's ransom in dimes
 F
I give each night to sing 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, and whisper
Bb C F F C C*
Baby, blind love is true

[Chorus]

Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C Bb F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm 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 Bb
And lay you down
Bb Bb* F C
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 (x3)
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

[Chorus]

Dm Dm
I wanna lay
 C Bb F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm 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 F C
And lay you down
Dm Dm
I wanna lay
C Bb F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm Dm
For tonight
C Bb F
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
Bb
I want to be
F
Just as close as
Bb F
The Holy Ghost is!
Dm C Bb (Bb)
And lay you down
(Bb) (Bb*) F
On a bed of roses
