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

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

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

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

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

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

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