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