Verse 1: (Keyboard part played over the top)
-------
A#Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old Fpiano.

Trying A#hard to capture the moment, this morning I Fdon't know.

'cause a Ambottle of vodka still A#lies in my head and some Fblonde

gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my A#bed.

As I A#think about movies they Cwon't make of me when I'm Fdead.

With an A#iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the Fmorning.

While a A#marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're tFalking

about Amall of the things I A#longed to believe, about Flove, the truth,

what you mean to me and the A#truth is...

A# C (rhythm fig #1)
Baby you're all that I need.


Chorus:
------
Dm C A# F (rhythm fig #3)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.

Dm C A# F (rhythm fig #2)
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.

I wanna A#be just as Fclose as the A#Holy FGhost is.

DmLay Cyou A#down, on a bed of Froses.


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:
------
The A#hotel bars hangover Cwhiskey's gone dry.

The barFtender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.

A# A# 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.
