Bed Of Roses

[Intro]  
[D]   [A]  [Asus] [A] [Asus] [A] [Asus] [A]   (x4)

[Verse 1]  
[D]                                         [A]  
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano  
[D]                                                    [A]  
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know  
[E]                             [D]  
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head  
        [A]                                                    
And some blonde gave me nightmares, I think that she's still  
      [D]  
in my bed  
                              [E]                         [A]     
As I dream about movies, they won't make of me when I'm dead.  
[E]  

[Verse 2]  
[D]                                                 [A]  
With an ironclad fist I wake up and French Kiss the morning  
             [D]                                               
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while  
     [A]  
we're talking  
[E]                             [D]  
About all of the things that I long to believe  
        [A]                                           [D]  
About love, the truth, what you mean to me, and the truth is  
             [E]           [A]    [E]  
Baby, you're all that I need.  

[Chorus]  
[F#m]              [E]         [D]       [A]  
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses  
[F#m]            [E]           [D]       [A]  
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails, Oooh  
         [D]               [A]      [D]          [A]  
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is  
[F#m]       [E]   [D]                [A]  
And lay you down on a bed of roses.  

[Verse 3]  
[D]                                                          [A]  
Well I'm so far away that each step that I take is on my way home  
           [D]                                              
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night just to see  
            [A]  
through this payphone  
[E]                              [D]  
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through  
                                [A]                              
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I'll just close  
             [D]  
my eyes and whisper,  
            [E]         [A]   [E]  
Baby, blind love is true  

[Chorus]  
[F#m]              [E]         [D]       [A]  
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses  
[F#m]            [E]           [D]       [A]  
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails, Ohhh  
         [D]               [A]      [D]          [A]  
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is  
[F#m]       [E]   [D]                [A]  
And lay you down on a bed of roses.  

[Bridge]  
[D]                                [E]  
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry  
[A]  
The barkeeper's wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye  
[D]  
Well I might have said yeah  
                       [E]       [A]              [E]  
But I laughed so hard I think I died... Ooh yeah!  

[Verse 4]  
[D]                                                      [A]  
Now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you  
           [D]                                              [A]  
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again  
             [D]                                            
Tonight, I won't be alone to know that don't mean I'm not  
    [A]  
lonely  
[F#m]                    [E]  
I've got nothing to prove  
          [D]                   [A]       [E]  
For it's you that I'd die to defend  

[Chorus]  
[F#m]              [E]         [D]       [A]  
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses  
[F#m]            [E]           [D]       [A]  
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails, Ohhh  
         [D]               [A]      [D]          [A]  
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is  
[F#m]       [E]   [D]  
And lay you down...
