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