[Verse]
Bb                             
Sitting here wasted and wounded
          F        
With this old piano
Bb                    
Trying hard to capture
                        F           
The moment this morning I don't know
Am                      
'cause a bottle of vodka
Bb                     
Still lodged in my head
F                                 
And some blonde gave me nightmares
                          Bb    
Think that she's still in my bed
   Bb                  
As I dream about movies
C                          F       
They won't make of me when I'm dead
Bb                   
With an ironclad fist
                     F               
I wake up and French kiss the morning
Bb                            
While some marching band keeps
    Bb                 
Its own beat in my head
F                  
While we're talking
Am                           Bb               
About all of the things that I long to believe
F                                           
About love the truth and what you mean to me
Bb                                    F      C
And the truth is baby you're all that I need ■


[Chorus]
Em Dm      C                 F           
■  I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
Dm          C            F           
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
     Bb       F                Bb  F            
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Dm      Bb                F       
And lay you down on a bed of roses


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


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

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


[Chorus]
         Dm              
I've got nothing to prove
         Bb                  F      C
For it's you that I'd die to defend ■
        Dm      C    Bb          F    
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Dm        C          Bb     F    
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
           Bb         F            Bb   F       
Oh I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
    Dm  C   Bb   F
And lay you down ■
C         Dm      C       Bb       F    
■ I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Dm        C          Bb  F       
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        Bb         F            Bb   F       
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is


[Outro]
    Dm  C   Bb  
And lay you down
       F    
Bed of roses
