Bed of Roses

Tom: E
A E
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
A E
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know.
G#m A E
'cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde
A
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
A B E
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

A E
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning.
A E
While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking

G#m A
about all of the things I longed to believe, about
E A
love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is...

A B (rhythm fig #1)


Baby you're all that I need.
C#m B A E (rhythm fig #3)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
C#m B A E (rhythm fig #2)
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
A E A E
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
C#m B A E
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
A E
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
A
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see
E
through this payphone.
G#m A
Still I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through
E
till the bird on the wire
A
flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes.
A B E
And whisper "baby it probably is true".
REFRÃO
A B
The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.
E
The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
A A B E
I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died. (rhythmfig.#1)
Solo:
A E
Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking about you
A E
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
A E
I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
C#m B A E
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend
