Verse 1: (Keyboard part played over the top)
-------
Bb F
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
Bb F
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't
know.
Am Bb
F
'cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some
blonde
Bb
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
Bb C F
As I think about movies they won't make of me when I'm
dead.
Bb F
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the
morning.
Bb
F
While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head
while we're talking
Am Bb F
about all of the things I longed to believe, about love,
the truth,
Bb
what you mean to me and the truth is...
Bb C (rhythm fig #1)
Baby you're all that I need.
Chorus:
------
Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #3)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #2)
Tonight 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
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
Verse #2:
I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see
through this payphone.
But I'd 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 it probably is true".
Bridge:
------
Bb C
The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.
F
The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
Bb Bb C F
(rhythm fig. #1)
I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I
died.

Verse 3:
-------
Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking
about you.
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight
again.
I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not
lonely.
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to
defend.
