Kord Bed Of Roses

            Bb                                                               F
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
           Bb                                                            F
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
               Am                             Bb
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lies in my head
                  F
And some blonde gave me nightmares
                                        Bb
I think that she's still in my bed
         Bb                                   C                                        F
As I dream about movies, they won't make of me when I'm dead
             Bb                                                           F
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
                   Bb
While some marching band keeps
                                                        F
Its own beat in my head while we're talking
         Am                            Bb
About all of the things that I longed to believe
         F
About love and the truth and what you mean to me and the truth is
Bb               C
Baby you're all that I need

Chorus:
             Dm          C           Bb       F
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
      Dm       C             Bb        F
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
              Bb            F                Bb     F
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
       Dm  C   Bb                        F
And lay you down on a bed of roses

                  Bb                                                                      F
Well I'm so far away that each step that I take is on my way home
            Bb
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
                                         F
Just to see through this payphone
        Am                           Bb
Still I run out of time 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 and whisper
         Bb               C
Baby blind love is true

Bridge:
        Bb                        C
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
             F
The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye
   Bb                                    Bb                     C          F
I might have said yeah, but I laughed so hard I think I died

              Bb                                                        F
Now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you
                      Bb                                                            F
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
                    Am                                      Bb                                F
Tonite I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
                              Bb              Bb                           C
I've got nothing to prove, for it's you that I'd die to defend
