[Verse]
A                              
Sitting here wasted and wounded
          E        
With this old piano
A                     
Trying hard to capture
                E                   
The moment this morning I don't know
G#m                     
'cause a bottle of vodka
A                      
Still lodged in my head
E                                 
And some blonde gave me nightmares
                          A     
Think that she's still in my bed
   A                   
As I dream about movies
B                          E       
They won't make of me when I'm dead
A                    
With an ironclad fist
                     E               
I wake up and French kiss the morning
A                             
While some marching band keeps
    A                  
Its own beat in my head
Bsus4       E      
While we're talking


[Chorus]
G#m                     A                     
About all of the things that I long to believe
E                             A             
About love the truth and what you mean to me
                 E           B C#m            
And the truth is baby you're ■ all that I need
  B                       E           
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
C#m         B                E       
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
     A        E                A   E            
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
    C#m         A    Esus4 E                
And ■   lay you down ■     on a bed of roses


[Verse]
A                   
Well I'm so far away
                     E          
Step that I takes on my way home
  A                                       
A king's ransom in dimes I give each night
               E             Bsus4 E
To see through this payphone ■     ■
G#m       E                
■   Still I run out of time
A                          
Or it's hard to get through
E                                              
'til' the bird on the wire flies me back to you
A                                  
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
           E            D#m
Baby blind love is true ■  


[Chorus]
B   C#m       B                 E       
■ I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
            C#m B                  E       
For tonight ■   ■ I sleep on a bed of nails
     A             E           A   E            
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
    C#m     A             E  D#m  
And lay you down on a bed of roses
A                     B                          
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
    E                        
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
E                          
And she's giving me the eye
A                     
I might have said yeah
                        E                    
But I laughed so hard I think I died ooh yeah

[Verse]
A                         
Now as you close your eyes
                      E        
Know I'll be thinking about you
      A                       
While my mistress she calls me
                E              
To stand in her spotlight again
A                       
Tonight I won't be alone
                                 E         
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely


[Chorus]
     C#m                 
I've got nothing to prove
Esus4                 E             B
For it's you that I'd die to defend ■
D#m   C#m   B                 E           
■   I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
            C#m B                E       
For tonight ■   I sleep on a bed of nails
     A                E        A     E            
Oh I wanna be just as close as ■ the Holy Ghost is
C#m C#m7    A    E
And lay you down ■
D#m   C#m   C#m7 B                 E       
■   I wanna lay  you down in a bed of roses
    C#m     B                E       
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
  A        E                A     E            
I wanna be just as close as ■ the Holy Ghost is


[Outro]
C#m             A    Esus4
■   And lay you down ■    
A Esus4 A  E    
■ Bed   of roses
Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 Bsus4 Esus4
■     ■ ■     ■ ■     ■     ■
