Bed Of Roses

Tom: C

C                                             G
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
        C                                         G
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know
        Bm                     C                       G
Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head and some blond
                                                   C
Gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed
     C                       D                         G
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
        C                                          G
With an ironclad fist I wake up to french kiss the morning
         C                                                       G    
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're 
talking
      Bm                 C                        G
About all of the things that I longed to believe, about love, the truth
                            C
And what you mean to me and the truth is
C           D        G        D
Baby you're all that I need

Em      D          C    G
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Em         D         C      G
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        C          G            C     G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Em  D   C                  G
Lay you down, on a bed of roses

     C                                        G
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home
C                                                                   G
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night just to see through this payphone
    Bm                          C                            G
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
                      C
Flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes.
              C     Bm       G         D
And whisper "baby blind love is true"

Em      D          C     G
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Em       D           C      G
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        C          G            C     G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
Em  D    C                  G      D
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.

C                    D
Well this hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry
       G
The barkeeps wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye
        C                         D               G         D     G
Well I might've said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I died

C                                                 G
Now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you
      C                                                  G
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again, tonight
C                                                 G
I won't be alone, To know that don't mean I'm not lonely
         Em         D               C                  G       D
I've got nothing to prove, for it's you I'd die to defend

Em      D         C      G
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
    Em        D          C      G
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
        C          G            C     G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Em  D   C                 G    D
Lay you down, on a bed of roses

Sitting here, wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment
This morning, I don't know

'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist
I wake up and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head
While we're talking

About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby, you're all that I need

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, I'm so far away
Each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes
I'd given each night just to see through this payphone

Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby, blind love is true

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well, this hotel bar's hangover, whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said: Yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Oh, yeah

Now, as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress, she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again

Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
