Tom: Bb Bb F Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano. Bb F Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know. Am Bb F 'Cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde Bb Gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed. Bb C F As I think about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead. Bb F With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning. Bb F While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking Am Bb F About all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth, Bb What you mean to me and the truth is... Bb C Baby you're all that I need. Chorus: Dm C Bb F I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses. Dm C Bb F Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails. Bb F Bb F I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. Dm C Bb F Lay you down, on a bed of roses. Bb F I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home. Bb F A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone. Am Bb F But I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire Bb Flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes. Bb C And whisper "baby it's probably is true". Bridge: Bb C The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry. F The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye. Bb Bb C F I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.

Bb F My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. Am Bb F I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely. Bb Bb C I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend.
