Bb F
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Bb
Trying hard to capture the moment
F
This morning I don't know
Am Bb
Cos a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
F
And some blonde gave me nightmares
Bb
I think that she's still in my bed
C F
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
With an iron-clad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe about love, the truth
And what you mean to me
And the truth is
F Em
Baby you're all that I need
Dm C Bb F
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Dm C Bb F
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Bb F Bb F
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Dm C Bb F
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away, each step that I takes' on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time, or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
"Baby, blind love is true"
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Em Dm C
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
F
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Bb
Well I might've said yeah
C F
But I laughed so hard I think I'd die
Em
Ooh yeah
Dm C Bb F 3x's
Dm C Bb
Now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress, she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone, but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
Dm C Bb F
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
Oh I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses
