Intro: D
G D
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
G D
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don’t know.
F#m G D
‘Cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde
G
Gave me nightmares, I think that she’s still in my bed.
G A D
As I think about movies they won’t make of me when I’m dead.
G D
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning.
G D
While a marching band keeps it’s own beat in my head
while we’re talking
F#m G D
About all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth,
G
What you mean to me and the truth is…
G A D
Baby you’re all that I need.
Chorus:
Bm A G D
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
Bm A G D
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
G D G D
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
Bm A G D
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
G D
I’m so far away, each step that I take’s on my way home.
G D
A king’s ransom in dimes I’d give each night to see
through this payphone.
F#m G D
But I’d run out of time or it’s hard to get through
till the bird on the wire
G
Flies me back to you. I’ll just close my eyes.
G A
And whisper “baby blind love is true”.
Bridge:
G A
The hotel bars hangover whiskey’s gone dry.
D
The bartender’s wig’s crooked, she’s giving me the eye.
G G A D
I might’ve said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.
G D
Now as you close your eyes you know I’ll be thinking about you.
G D
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
F#m G D
I won’t be alone, you know that don’t mean I’m not lonely.
G G A
I’ve got nothing to prove, for its you I’d die to defend.
