Tone [F]
[Bb] Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old pi[F] ano
[Bb] Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I [F] don't know
'Cause a [Am] bottle of Vodka's still [Bb] lodged in my head
And some [F] blonde gave me nightmares think that she's still in my [Bb] bed
As I [Gm] dream about movies they [C] won't make of me when I'm [F] dead
With an [Bb] ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the [F] morning
While some [Bb] marching band keeps its 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 [C] baby you're all that I [F] need
I wanna [Dm] lay you [C] down in a [Bb] bed of [F] roses
For to[Dm] night I'll [C] sleep on a [Bb] bed of [F] nails
Oh I wanna [Bb] be just as [F] close as the [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is
And [Dm] lay [C] you [Bb] down on a bed of [F] roses
Well I'm [Bb] so far away each step that I take is on my [F] way home
A king's [Bb] ransom in dimes, I'd give 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 and whisper "[C] Baby, blind love is [F] true"
I wanna [Dm] lay you [C] down in a [Bb] bed of [F] roses
For to[Dm] night I'll [C] sleep on a [Bb] bed of [F] nails
Oh I wanna [Bb] be just as [F] close as the [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is
And [Dm] lay [C] you [Bb] down on a bed of [F] roses [C]
Well this [Bb] hotel bar's hangover [C] whiskey's gone dry
The bar[F] keeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye
Well I [Bb] might have said yeah but I laughed so [C] hard I think I [F] died
[Dm] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Dm] [C] [Bb] [F]
Now as [Bb] you close your eyes know I'll be thinking a[F] bout you
While my [Bb] mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight [F] again
Tonight I [Bb] won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not [F] lonely
I've got [Dm] nothing to prove for it's [C] you that I'd [Bb] die to de[F] fend
I wanna [Dm] lay you [C] down in a [Bb] bed of [F] roses
For to[Dm] night I'll [C] sleep on a [Bb] bed of [F] nails
Oh I wanna [Bb] be just as [F] close as the [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is
And [Dm] lay [C] you [Bb] down
I wanna [Dm] lay you [C] down in a [Bb] bed of [F] roses
For to[Dm] night I'll [C] sleep on a [Bb] bed of [F] nails
Oh I wanna [Bb] be just as [F] close as the [Bb] Holy [F] Ghost is
And [Dm] lay [C] you [Bb] down on a bed of [F] roses
