Introduction:
C F C
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
F C
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know
Em F C
'cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head and some blonde
F
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed
Dm G C
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
F C
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french-kiss the morning
F C
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking
Em F
About all of the things that I long to believe
C F
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
Dm G C
Baby you're all that I need
Am G F C
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Am G F C
For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh

I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
Am G F C
And Lay you down, on a bed of roses
Verse two
F C
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
F C
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay phone.
Em F C
Still I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
F
Flies me back to You I'll just close my eyes
Dm G C
Whisper baby blind love is true
Am G F C
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses

For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh

The barkepper's wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye
F Dm G C
Well I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died oh yeah
Am G C Am GCAm C
Silence
F C
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
