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

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.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.

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.
