C                                             G
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
        C                                         G
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know
        Bm                     C                       G
Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head and some blond
                                                   C
Gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed
     C                       D                         G
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
        C                                          G
With an ironclad fist I wake up to french kiss the morning
         C                                                       G    
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're 
talking
      Bm                 C                        G
About all of the things that I longed to believe, about love, the truth
                            C
And what you mean to me and the truth is
C           D        G        D
Baby you're all that I need

Em      D          C    G
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Em         D         C      G
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        C          G            C     G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Em  D   C                  G
Lay you down, on a bed of roses

     C                                        G
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home
C                                                                   G
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night just to see through this payphone
    Bm                          C                            G
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
                      C
Flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes.
              C     Bm       G         D
And whisper "baby blind love is true"

Em      D          C     G
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Em       D           C      G
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        C          G            C     G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
Em  D    C                  G      D
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.

C                    D
Well this hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry
       G
The barkeeps wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye
        C                         D               G         D     G
Well I might've said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I died

C                                                 G
Now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you
      C                                                  G
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again, tonight
C                                                 G
I won't be alone, To know that don't mean I'm not lonely
         Em         D               C                  G       D
I've got nothing to prove, for it's you I'd die to defend

Em      D         C      G
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Em        D          C      G
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        C          G            C     G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Em  D   C                 G    D
Lay you down, on a bed of roses
