Bed of roses

A# F A#
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano. Trying hard to capture
F Am
the moment this mornig I don't know 'cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged
F
in my head and some blond gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my
A# F
bed. As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

A# F
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning. While some
A# F Am
marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking. About all
A# F
of the things that I long to believe about love and the truth and what you
A# F
mean to me, and the truth is baby you'r all that I need.

Dm C A# F Dm C A#
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. For tonight I sleep on a bed of
F A# F A# F Dm C A#
nails. I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is and lay you down on
F
a bed roses.

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

Dm C A# F Dm C A#
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. For tonight I sleep on a bed of
F A# F A# F Dm C A#
nails. I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is and lay you down on
F
a bed roses.

Dm C F
Well this hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry. The barkeeper's wig's
A#
crooked and she's giving me the eye I might have said yeah, but I laughed
F
so hard I think I died



SOLO:


A# F
Now it's you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you. While my
A# F A#
mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. Tonight I won't be
F Dm C
but you know that don't mean I' m not lonely I've got nothing to prove for
A# F
it's you that I'd die to defend

Dm C A# F Dm C A#
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. For tonight I sleep on a bed of
F A# F A# F Dm C A#
nails. I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is and lay you down on
F
a bed roses.

Dm C A# F Dm C A#
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. For tonight I sleep on a bed of
F A# F A# F Dm C A#
nails. I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is and lay you down on
F
a bed roses.
