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

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

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

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

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

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

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