Verse 1
S[Bb]Sitting here wasted and wounded
This old pi[F]piano
Trying h[Bb]hard to capture the moment
This morning I d[F]don't know
'Cause a b[Am]bottle of
vodka is still l[Bb]lodged in my head
And some bl[F]blond gave me nightmares
Think she's still in my b[Bb]bed
As I dr[Bb]eam about movies they
w[C]on't make of me when I'm d[F]ead
Verse 2
With an [Bb]ironclad fist
I wake up, and French kiss the m[F]morning
While some m[Bb]marching band keepsits own beat
In my head while we're[F]we're talking
About [Am]all of the
things, that I l[Bb]long to believe
About l[F]love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the tr[Bb]truth is
B[Bb]Baby, you're [C]all that I n[F]need [F] [C] [C]
Refrain 1
I wanna l[Dm]lay [Dm]
You d[C]own in a b[Bb]ed of r[F]oses
For ton[Dm]tonite [Dm]
I sl[C]eep on a b[Bb]ed of n[F]ails
Oh, I want to b[Bb]be
Just as cl[F]close as

And l[Dm]ay y[C]ou d[Bb]own [Bb]
[Bb] On a b[Bb]bed of [F]roses
Verse 3
Well I'm s[Bb]so far away
Step that I take is on my w[F]way home
King's r[Bb]ransom in dimes
Given each night to
see through this p[F]payphone
Still I r[Am]run out of time
Or it's h[Bb]hard to get through
Till the b[F]bird on the wire
Flies me back to you
I'll j[Bb]just close my eyes, whisper
B[Bb]aby, bl[C]ind love is tr[F]ue [F] [C] [C]

Bridge
Well this h[Bb]hotel bar hangover
Wh[C]Whiskey's gone dry the
bark[F]barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I m[Bb]might have said yeah
But I l[Bb]laughed so hard [C]I
think I d[F]ied[F], [C]uh y[C]eah!...

Verse 4
Now as y[Bb]you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking ab[F]about you
While my m[Bb]mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight[F]spotlight again
Tonite, I w[Bb]won't be alone
But you know that
don't mean I'm not l[F]lonely
I've got n[Dm]othing to pr[C]ove for it's y[Bb]ou
That I'd d[Bb]die to def[F]defend [C]
