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

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

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

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

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

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

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