BED OF ROSES ( Bb )
Intro: ( Bb----F ) ( Bb----F ) ( Bb----F ) ( Bb----F )
Bb F
Sitting here waisted and wounded, at this old pia_no
Bb F
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don’t know
Am Bb
‘Cause a bottle of vodka’s still lodged in my head
F Bb
And some blonde gave me nightmares, I think that she’s still in my bed
C F
As I dream about movies, they won’t make of me when I’m dead
Bb F
With a iron clad fist, I wake up and french kiss the morning
Bb F
While some marching band keeps it’s own beat in my head while we’re talking
Am Bb
About all of the things that I long to believe
F
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
Bb C F
And the truth is, baby, you’re all that I need
Dm C Bb F
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses,
Dm C Bb F
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
Bb F Bb F
I wanna be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is
Dm C Bb F
And lay you down,……… on a bed of roses
Bb F
Well I’m so far away, each step that I take’s on my way home
Bb F
A king’s ransom in dimes I’d give each night, to see through this payphone
Am Bb
Still I run out of time or it’s hard to get through
F
To the bird on the wire flies me back to you
Bb C F
I’ll just close my eyes, and whisper, baby, blind love is true

Well this hotel bar’s hangover whiskey’s gone dry

The barkeeper’s wig’s crooked, and she’s giving me the eye

Well I might have said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes, know I’ll be thinking about you
Bb F
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
