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

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

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

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

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

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

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