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

Just as close as

The Holy Ghost is!
Dm C A#
And lay you down
( A#) F
On a bed of roses
