| F | C |
S | itting here wasted and wounded at this old pi | ano |
| F |
Trying h | ard to capture the moment |
| C |
This morning I d | on’t know |
| Em | F |
‘Cause a b | ottle of vodka is still | lodged in my head |
| C |
And some bl | ond gave me nightmares |
| F |
Think she’s still in my b | ed |
| F |
As I dr | eam about movies they |
G | C |
Won’t make of me when I’m d | ead |
| C |
I wake up and French kiss the m | orning |
| F |
While some m | arching band keeps its own beat |
| C |
In my head while we’re | talking |
| Em | F |
About | all of the things, that I | long to believe |
| C |
About l | ove, the truth, what you mean to me |
F | G | C | G/B |
Baby, you’re | all that I | need | |
| G | F | C |
You | down in a | bed of r | oses |
| G | F | C |
I s | leep on a | bed of n | ails |
| F | C |
Oh, I want to b | e just as c | lose as |
| C |
Each step that I take’s on my w | ay home |
| F |
A king’s r | ansom in dimes |
| C |
Given each night to see through this p | ay phone |
| Em |
Still I r | un out of time |
| F |
Or it’s | hard to get through |
| C |
Till the b | ird on the wire flies me back to you |
| F |
I’ll j | ust close my eyes, whisper |
F | G | C | G/B |
Baby, | blind love is | true | |
| G | F | C |
You | down in a | bed of r | oses |
| G | F | C |
I s | leep on a | bed of n | ails |
| F | C |
Oh, I want to b | e just as c | lose as |
| F |
Well this h | otel bar’s hangover |
| G | C |
W | hiskey’s gone dry the bark | eeper’s wig’s crooked |
And she’s giving me the eye
| F | G | C | G/B |
But I | laughed so hard | I think I | died | |
| F |
Now as y | ou close your eyes |
| C |
Know I’ll be thinking ab | out you |
| F |
While my m | istress she calls me |
| C |
To stand in her spotlight | again |
| F |
Tonight I w | on’t be alone |
| C |
But you know that don’t mean I’m not l | onely |
| Am | G | F |
I’ve got n | othing to p | rove for it’s | you |
| F | C | G/B |
That I’d | die to def | end | |
| G | F | C |
You | down in a | bed of r | oses |
| G | F | C |
I s | leep on a | bed of n | ails |
| F | C |
Oh, I want to b | e just as c | lose as |
| G | F | C |
You | down in a | bed of r | oses |
| G | F | C |
I s | leep on a | bed of n | ails |
| F | C |
Oh, I want to b | e just as c | lose as |
| Am | G | F | C |
And l | ay | you | down on a bed of | roses |
