Intro: 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 F C F C 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. Am G F C For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh F C F C I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is. Am G F C And Lay you down, on a bed of roses. Am G Well this hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry. C Em 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....ooh yeah
Interlude: Am G C Am G C Am G C Silence F C Now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you. F C While My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. F C Tonight I won't be alone, but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely. Am G F G C I've got nothing to prove, for its you that I'd die to defend.
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 F C F C I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is. Am G F C And Lay you down, on a bed of roses. 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 F C F C I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is. Am G F C And Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
