[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]
[D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Sitting [G]here
wasted and wounded
With this old pi[D]ano
Trying [G]hard to capture
The moment this morning
[D]I don't know
'Cause a [F#m]bottle of vodka
[G]Still lodged in my head
And some [D]blonde gave me nightmares
Think that she's still in [G]my bed
As I dream about movies
They [A]won't make of me when I'm [D]dead

[Verse 2]
With an [G]ironclad fist
I wake up and French kiss the [D]morning
While [G]some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While [D]we're talking
About [F#m]all of the things
that I [G]long to believe
About [D]love the truth and what
you mean to me
And the [G]truth is,
baby you're [A]all that I [D]need[A]
I [D]wanna

[Verse 3]
[Bm]lay you [A]down in a [G]bed of r[D]oses
For [Bm]to night I s[A]leep on a [G]bed of n[D]ails
Oh, I wanna [G]be just as [D]close
as the [G]Holy [D]Ghost is
And [Bm]lay [A]you down[G] on a bed of ros[D]es
Well [G]I'm

[Verse 4]
so far away
Step that I takes on my [D]way home
A king's [G]ransom in dimes I give each night
To see through [D]this payphone
Still I [F#m]run out of time
Or it's [G]hard to get through
'Til' the [D]bird on the wire
flies me back to you
I'll [G]just close my eyes and whisper
Baby [A]blind love [D]is [A]true
I [D]wanna

[Verse 5]
[Bm]lay you [A]down in a [G]bed of r[D]oses
For [Bm]to night I s[A]leep on a be[G]d of[D] nails
Oh, I wanna [G]be just as [D]close
as the [G]Holy [D]Ghost is
And [Bm]lay [A]you down[G] on a bed of ros[D]es[A]

[Verse 6]
Well, this [G]hotel bar's hangover
[A]whiskey's gone dry
The bar[D]keeper's wig's
crooked
And she's giving me the eye
[G]I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard [A]I think I[D] died,
[A]ooh[C#m] yeah[A]

[Bm][A][G][D]

[Verse 7]
Now [G]as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about [D]you
While my [G]mistress she calls me
To stand in [D]her spotlight again
Tonight I won't [G]be alone
But you know that don't
mean I'm not [D]lonely
I've got [Bm]nothing to [A]prove
For it's [G]you that I'd die to de[D]fend[A]
[F#m]I wann[A]a

[Verse 8]
[Bm]lay you [A]down in a [G]bed of r[D]oses
For to[Bm]night I [A]sleep on a [G]bed of [D]nails
Oh, I wanna [G]be just as [D]close
as the [G]Holy [D]Ghost is
And [Bm]lay [A]you down[G][D][A]
I wanna [Bm]lay you [A]down in a [G]bed of r[D]oses
For tonight [Bm]I sl[A]eep on a bed[G] of [Dsus4]nails[D]
I wanna [G]be just as [D]close
as the [G]Holy [D]Ghost is
And [Bm]lay [A]you [G]down
