Intro
: Bb F Bb F (2x)
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
Bb
With an ironclad fist
F
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
Bb
While some marching band keepsits 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 C
Baby, you’re all that I need
Reff
Dm
I wanna lay
C Bb F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm
For tonite
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
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 C
Baby, blind love is true
Reff2
Dm
I wanna lay
C Bb F
You down in a bed of roses
Dm
For tonite
C Bb F
I sleep on a bed of nails

Oh, I want to be
F
Just as close as
Bb F
The Holy Ghost is
Dm C Bb
And lay you down
Bb F C
On a bed of roses
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 C
But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!…

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
Tonite, 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
