AbD#
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
AbD#
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I donʼt know.
GmAbD#
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.
AbA#D#
As I dream about movies they wonʼt make of me when Iʼm dead.
AbD#
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
GmAb
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...
AbA#D#
Baby youʼre all that I need.
Chorus:
CmA#AbD#
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
CmA#AbD#
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
AbD#AbD#
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
CmA#AbD#
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
AbD#
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.
GmAb
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.
AbA#D#
And whisper "baby it probably is true".
Chorus:
CmA#AbD#
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
CmA#AbD#
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
AbD#AbD#
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
CmA#AbD#
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
Bridge:
AbA#
The hotel bars hangover whiskeyʼs gone dry.
D#
The bartenderʼs wigʼs crooked, sheʼs giving me the eye.
AbAbA#D#
mightʼve said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.
AbD#
Now as you close your eyes you know Iʼll be thinking about you.
AbD#
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. Tonight
GmAbD#
I wonʼt be alone, you know that donʼt mean Iʼm not lonely.
Ab
Iʼve got nothing to prove,
AbA#D#
For its you Iʼd die to defend.
Chorus:
CmA#AbD#
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
CmA#AbD#
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
AbD#AbD#
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
CmA#AbD#
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
