Lirik dan chord:

[Intro]

Bb  F  Bb  F  (x2)

[Verse 1]

 Bb

Sitting here wasted and wounded

           F

This old piano

        Bb

Trying hard to capture the moment

                F

This morning I don't know

          Am                       Bb

'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head

           F

And some blond gave me nightmares

                         Bb

Think she's still in my bed

       Bb                     C                         F

As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

[Verse 2]

        Bb

With an ironclad fist

                                F

I wake up, and French kiss the morning

            Bb

While some marching band keeps its own beat

                      F

In my head while we're talking

      Am                         Bb

About all of the things, that I long to believe

       F

About love, the truth, what you mean to me

          Bb

And the truth is

 Bb          C           F   F  C C*

Baby, you're all that I need

[Chorus]

         Dm Dm

I wanna lay

     C         Bb     F

You down in a bed of roses

       Dm  Dm

For tonight

    C         Bb     F

I sleep on a bed of nails

               Bb

Oh, I want to be

          F

Just as close as

     Bb    F

The Holy Ghost is

     Dm  C   Bb  Bb

And lay you down

Bb      Bb*    F

  On a bed of roses

[Verse 3]

           Bb

Well, I'm so far away

                                F

Each step that I take is on my way home

          Bb

A King's ransom in dimes

                                      F

Given each night to see through this payphone

         Am

Still I run out of time

         Bb

Or it's hard to get through

          F

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

      Bb

I'll just close my eyes, whisper

 Bb     C             F  F C C*

Baby, blind love is true

[Chorus]

         Dm Dm

I wanna lay

     C         Bb     F

You down in a bed of roses

       Dm  Dm

For tonight

    C         Bb     F

I sleep on a bed of nails

               Bb

Oh, I want to be

          F

Just as close as

     Bb    F

The Holy Ghost is

     Dm  C   Bb  Bb

And lay you down

Bb      Bb*    F     C

  On a bed of roses

[Bridge]

            Bb

Well, this hotel bar hangover

  C                         F

Whiskey's gone dry, the barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

   Bb

I might have said yeah

       Bb             C          F  F C   C*

But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!...

[Solo]

Dm  C  Bb  F  (x3)

Dm  C  Bb  Bb  Bb  Bb* F

[Verse 4]

        Bb

Now as you close your eyes

                        F

Know I'll be thinking about you

          Bb

While my mistress she calls me

                         F

To stand in her spotlight again

            Bb

Tonight, I won't be alone

                                      F

But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely

          Dm          C             Bb

I've got nothing to prove for it's you

          Bb       F   C

That I'd die to defend

[Chorus]

         Dm Dm

I wanna lay

     C         Bb     F

You down in a bed of roses

       Dm  Dm

For tonight

    C         Bb     F

I sleep on a bed of nails

               Bb

Oh, I want to be

          F

Just as close as

     Bb    F

The Holy Ghost is

     Dm  C   Bb  Bb Bb

And lay you down

         Dm Dm

I wanna lay

You down in a bed of roses

For tonight

I sleep on a be...ed of nails!

The Holy Ghost is!
