Bed of Roses

Sib Fa Sib Fa 2v

 Sib
Sitting here wasted and wounded
           Fa
This old piano
        Sib
Trying hard to capture the moment
                Fa
This morning I don't know
          Lam                       Sib
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
           Fa
And some blond gave me nightmares
                         Sib
Think she's still in my bed
       Sib
As I dream about movies
       Do                         Fa
they won't make of me when I'm dead
        Sib
With an ironclad fist
                                Fa
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
            Sib
While some marching band keepsits own beat
                      Fa
In my head while we're talking
      Lam                         Sib
About all of the things, that I long to believe
       Fa
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
          Sib
And the truth is
 Sib          Do           Fa
Baby, you're all that I need
         Rem     Do         Sib     Fa
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
         Rem     Do      Sib     Fa
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
               Sib
Oh, I want to be
          Fa        Sib    Fa
Just as close as the Holy Ghost is
     Rem  Do   Sib               Fa
And lay you down   On a bed of roses

          Sib
Well I'm so far away
                           Fa
Step that I take is on my way home
        Sib
King's ransom in dimes
                                      Fa
Given each night to see through this payphone
         Lam
Still I run out of time
         Sib
Or it's hard to get through
          Fa
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
      Sib
I'll just close my eyes, whisper
 Sib     Do             Fa  Fa Do
Baby, blind love is true

         Rem     Do       Sib     Fa
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
         Rem     Do      Sib     Fa
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
               Sib           Fa
Oh, I want to be just as close as
     Sib    Fa
The Holy Ghost is
     Rem  Do   Sib                Fa     Do
And lay you down     On a bed of roses

           Sib
Well this hotel bar hangover
  Do                        Fa
Whiskey's gone dry the barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
   Sib

    Do         Fa
I think I died, uh yeah!

        Sib
Now as you close your eyes
                        Fa
Know I'll be thinking about you
          Sib
While my mistress she calls me
                       Fa
To stand in her spotlight again
           Sib
Tonite, I won't be alone
                                   Fa
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
         Rem         Do             Sib
I've got nothing to prove for it's you
                     Fa   Do
That I'd die to defend
