[Intro:]     (2x)

[Verso 1:]
 
Sitting here wasted and wounded
           
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 blond gave me nightmares
                         
Think she's still in my bed
                           -                         
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

[Verso 2:]
        
With an ironclad fist
                                
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
            
While some marching band keepsits 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

[Refrão 1:]
         -
I wanna lay
    -        -     
You down in a bed of roses
        -
For tonite
   -        -     
I sleep on a bed of nails
               
Oh, I want to be
         -
Just as close as
        -
The Holy Ghost is
      -  - -
And lay you down
     -*    
  On a bed of roses

[Verso 3:]
          
Well I'm so far away
                           
Step that I take is on my way home
        
King's ransom in dimes
                                      
Given each night 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, whisper
     -            - - -*
Baby, blind love is true

[Refrão 2:]
         -
I wanna lay
    -        -     
You down in a bed of roses
        -
For tonite
   -        -     
I sleep on a bed of nails
               
Oh, I want to be
         -
Just as close as
        -
The Holy Ghost is
      -  - -
And lay you down
     -*        -
  On a bed of roses

[Ponte:]
           
Well this hotel bar 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, uh yeah!...

[Solo:] --- (3x) --- -* 

[Verso 4:]
        
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
           
Tonite, 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

[Refrão 3:]
         -
I wanna lay
    -        -     
You down in a bed of roses
        -
For tonite
   -        -     
I sleep on a bed of nails
               
Oh, I want to be
         -
Just as close as
        -
The Holy Ghost is
      -  - - 
And lay you down
         -
I wanna lay
    -        -     
You down in a bed of roses
        -
For tonite
   -        -  
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
           
I want to be
         -
Just as close as
        -
The Holy Ghost is!
  -  - (-Bb)
Lay you down
()   (-*)   
    The bed of roses
