[Bb] Sitting here wasted and wounded
This old [F] piano
Trying [Bb] hard to capture the moment
This morning I [F] don't know
'Cause a [Am] bottle of
vodka is still [Bb] lodged in my head
And some [F] blond gave me nightmares
Think she's still in my [Bb] bed
As I dr [Bb] eam about movies they
w [C] on't make of me when I'm d [F] ead
With an [Bb] ironclad fist
I wake up, and French kiss the [F] morning
While some [Bb] marching band keepsits own beat
In my head while [F] we're talking
About [Am] all of the
things, that I [Bb] long to believe
About [F] love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the [Bb] truth is
[Bb] Baby u r [C] all that I [F] need [F] .. [C] .. [C]
I wanna [Dm] lay [Dm]
You d [C] own in a b [Bb] ed of r [F] oses
For [Dm] tonite [Dm]
I sl [C] eep on a b [Bb] ed of n [F] ails
Oh, I want to [Bb] be
Just as [F] close as
The [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is
And l [Dm] ay y [C] ou d [Bb] own [Bb]
[Bb] On a [Bb] bed of [F] roses
Well I'm [Bb] so far away
Step that I take is on my [F] way home
King's [Bb] ransom in dimes
Given each night to
see through this [F] payphone
Still I [Am] run out of time
Or it's [Bb] hard to get through
Till the [F] bird on the wire
Flies me back to you
I'll [Bb] just close my eyes, whisper
B [Bb] aby, bl [C] ind love is tr [F] ue [F] .. [C]
I wanna [Dm] lay [Dm]
You d [C] own in a b [Bb] ed of r [F] oses
For [Dm] tonite [Dm]
I sl [C] eep on a b [Bb] ed of n [F] ails
Oh, I want to [Bb] be
Just as [F] close as
The [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is
And l [Dm] ay y [C] ou d [Bb] own [Bb]
[Bb] On a b [Bb] ed of [F] roses [C]
Well this [Bb] hotel bar hangover
[C] Whiskey's gone dry the
[F] barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I [Bb] might have said yeah
But I [Bb] laughed so hard [C] I
think I d [F] ied [F] , [C] uh y [C] eah!...
Now as [Bb] you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking [F] about you
While my [Bb] mistress she calls me
To stand in her [F] spotlight again
Tonite, I [Bb] won't be alone
But you know that
don't mean I'm not [F] lonely
I've got n [Dm] othing to pr [C] ove for its [Bb] u
That I'd [Bb] die to [F] defend [C]
I wanna [Dm] lay [Dm]
You d [C] own in a b [Bb] ed of r [F] oses
For [Dm] tonite [Dm]
I sl [C] eep on a b [Bb] ed of n [F] ails
Oh, I want to [Bb] be

Just as [F] close as
The [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is!

[Bb] The [Bb] bed [F] of roses
