capo di fret 5
F.. C.. F.. C..
F.. C.. F.. C..
F
sitting here wasted and wounded
C
at this old piano
F
trying hard to capture the moment
C
this morning i don't know
Em F
cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
C
and some blonde gave me nightmares
F
i think that she's still in my bed
F
as i dream about movies they
G C
won't make of me when i'm dead
F
with an ironclad fist
C
i wake up and french kiss the morning
F
while some marching band keeps its own beat in my
C
head while we're talking
Em F
about all of the things that i long to believe
C
about love and the truth and what you mean to me
F
and the truth is
G C
baby you're all that i need..
chorus:
Am G C
i want to lay you down in a bed of roses
Am G C
for tonight i sleep on a bed of nails
F C
oh i wanna be just as close as
F C
the holy ghost is
Am G F
and lay you down
C
on a bed of roses
F
well i'm so far away
C
that each step that i take is on my way home
F
a king's ransom in dimes i'd given each night just
C
to see through this payphone
Em F
still i run out of time or it's hard
C
to get through
C
till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
F
i'll just close my eyes and whisper
G C G
baby, blind love is true..
chorus:
Am G C
i want to lay you down in a bed of roses
Am G C
for tonight i sleep on a bed of nails
F C
oh i wanna be just as close as
F C
the holy ghost is
Am G F
and lay you down
C G
on a bed of roses..
bridge:
F
well, this hotel bar hangover
G C
whiskey's gone dry the barkeeper's wig's crooked
and she's giving me the eye
F
i might have said yeah
G C G
but i laughed so hard i think i died..
ooh yeah
interlude:
Am G F C
Am G F C
Am G F C
Am G F C
F
now as you close your eyes
C
know i'll be thinking about you
F
while my mistress she calls me
C
to stand in her spotlight again
F
tonight, i won't be alone
C
but you know that don't mean i'm not lonely
Am G
i've got nothing to prove
F C G
for it's you that i'd die to defend
chorus:
Am G C
i want to lay you down in a bed of roses
Am G C
for tonight i sleep on a bed of nails
F C
oh i wanna be just as close as
F C
the holy ghost is
Am G F C G
and lay you down..
Am G C
i want to lay you down in a bed of roses
Am G C
for tonight i sleep on a bed of nails
F C
oh i wanna be just as close as
F C
the holy ghost is
Am G F
and lay you down..
C
on a bed of roses..
