Verse 1: (Keyboard part played over the top)
 
 -------

[Bb]Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old [F]piano.
Trying [Bb]hard to capture the moment, this morning I [F]don't know.
'cause a [Am]bottle of vodka still [Bb]lies in my head and some [F]blonde
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my [Bb]bed.
As I [Bb]think about movies they [C]won't make of me when I'm [F]dead.
With an [Bb]iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the [F]morning.
While a [Bb]marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're t[F]alking
about [Am]all of the things I [Bb]longed to believe, about [F]love, the truth,
what you mean to me and the [Bb]truth is...
Bb C (rhythm fig #1)
Baby you're all that I need.
Chorus:
 
 ------

Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #3)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #2)
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
I wanna [Bb]be just as [F]close as the [Bb]Holy [F]Ghost is.
[Dm]Lay [C]you [Bb]down, on a bed of [F]roses.
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 [Bb]hotel bars hangover [C]whiskey's gone dry.
The bar[F]tender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
Bb Bb C F (rhythm fig. #1)
I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.
