verse 1
E
There's something 'bout your manner
B
That makes it hard to see
C#m
Just how you take advantage
A
Of a workin' girl like me
E
I've seen you set 'em up
B
And I've seen you take 'em down
C#m
Our love is legal tender
B
For your kind to pass around
E C#m B
Don't want your bed of roses
E C#m B
Don't want no handful of thorns
E C#m B
Don't want to be your livin' doll
F# B
Don't want to be no woman scorned
A
I don't want to watch you turn the page
B C#m A
When our chapter closes
F#
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
B C#m B
In your bed of roses
verse 2
E
I've tasted good and bad love
B
In the honky-tonks and bars
C#m
I've settled for the moon
A
When I was reachin' for the stars
E
And though sometimes I have stumbled
B
I've been known to fall
C#m
It was always true love
B
That took me to the wall
E C#m B
Don't want your bed of roses
E C#m B
Don't want no handful of thorns
E C#m B
Don't want to be your livin' doll
F# B
Don't want to be no woman scorned
A
I don't want to watch you turn the page
B C#m A
When our chapter closes
F#
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
B C#m B
In your bed of roses
