Text File

[Intro:] F C F C (2x)

[Verso 1:]
 F
Sitting here wasted and wounded
           C
This old piano
        F
Trying hard to capture the moment
                C
This morning I don't know
          Em                      F
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
           C
And some blond gave me nightmares
                         F
Think she's still in my bed
       C                    G                         C
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

[Verso 2:]
        F
With an ironclad fist
                                C
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
            F
While some marching band keepsits own beat
                      C
In my head while we're talking
      Em                        F
About all of the things, that I long to believe
       C
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
          F
And the truth is
 C          G          C  C  G G*
Baby, you're all that I need

[Refr�o 1:]
         Am-Am
I wanna lay
    G        F     C
You down in a bed of roses
       Am -Am
For tonite
    G         F     C
I sleep on a bed of nails
               F
Oh, I want to be
          C
Just as close as
     F    C
The Holy Ghost is
     Am  G   F  F
And lay you down
F     -F*     C
  On a bed of roses

[Verso 3:]
          F
Well I'm so far away
                           C
Step that I take is on my way home
        F
King's ransom in dimes
                                      C
Given each night to see through this payphone
         Em
Still I run out of time
        F
Or it's hard to get through
          C
Till the bird on the wire
Flies me back to you
      F
I'll just close my eyes, whisper
 F     G            C C  G G
Baby, blind love is true

[Refr�o 2:]
         Am-Am
I wanna lay
     G        F      C
You down in a bed of roses
       Am -Am
For tonite
    G         F     C
I sleep on a bed of nails
               F
Oh, I want to be
         C
Just as close as
     F    C
The Holy Ghost is
     Am  G   F  F
And lay you down
F     F     C    G
  On a bed of roses

[Ponte:]
            F
Well this hotel bar hangover
 G                        C
Whiskey's gone dry the barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
   F
I might have said yeah
       F            G          C  C G   G
But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!...

[Solo:] Am-Am-F-C (3x) Am-G-F-F-F-F C

[Verso 4:]
        F
Now as you close your eyes
                        C
Know I'll be thinking about you
          F
While my mistress she calls me
                         C
To stand in her spotlight again
           F
Tonite, I won't be alone
                                      C
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
          A          G           G
I've got nothing to prove for it's you
         F      C   G
That I'd die to defend

[Refr�o 3:]
          Am-Am
I wanna lay
     G         F      C
You down in a bed of roses
       Am-Am
For tonite
    G      F     C
I sleep on a bed of nails
               F
Oh, I want to be
          C
Just as close as
     F     C
The Holy Ghost is
     Am-C-F-F-F
And lay you down
         Am-Am
I wanna lay
    G       F      C
You down in a bed of roses
       Am-Am
For tonite
   G         F    C 
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
           F
I want to be             
         C
Just as close as 
     F    C
The Holy Ghost is!
 Am G   F    F
Lay you down
 F  F      C
The bed of roses
