B                                            F#
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
       B                                         F#
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I donʼt know.
         A#m                    B                       F#
ʼCause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde
                                                   B
Gave me nightmares, I think that sheʼs still in my bed.
     B                      C#                         F#
As I dream about movies they wonʼt make of me when Iʼm dead.
        B                                          F#
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning.
        B                               
While a marching band keeps itʼs own beat 
                         F#
In my head while weʼre talking
      A#m                  B                             
About all of the things that  I longed to believe, about 
F#
Love, the truth,
                            B
What you mean to me and the truth is...
B          C#          F#
Baby youʼre all that I need.

Chorus:
        D#m      C#         B     F#   
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
D#m        C#          B     F#    
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
        B         F#            B   F#
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
D#m  C#   B                F#
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.

B                                            F#
Iʼm so far away, each step that I takeʼs on my way home.
          B                                
А kingʼs ransom in dimes Iʼd give each night 
            F#
To see through this payphone.
         A#m                    B           
But Iʼd run out of time or itʼs hard to get
            F# 
Through till the bird on the wire
                                B
flies me back to you. Iʼll just close my eyes.
     B       C#                 F# 
And whisper "baby it probably is true".

Chorus:
        D#m      C#         B     F#   
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
D#m        C#          B     F#    
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
        B         F#            B   F#
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
D#m  C#   B                F#
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.

Bridge:
    B                  C#
The hotel bars hangover whiskeyʼs gone dry.
       F#                
The bartenderʼs wigʼs crooked, sheʼs giving me the eye.
  B                       B              C#         F#   
mightʼve said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.

B                                            F#
Now as you close your eyes you know Iʼll be thinking about you.
       B                                            F#
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. Tonight
         A#m                    B                    F#
I wonʼt be alone, you know that donʼt mean Iʼm not lonely.
                      B
Iʼve got nothing to prove, 
B          C#          F#
For its you Iʼd die to defend.

Chorus:
        D#m      C#         B     F#   
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
D#m        C#          B     F#    
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
        B         F#            B   F#
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
D#m  C#   B                F#
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
