Bed Of Roses Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][C]

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

[Verse 2]
With an [F]ironclad fist
I wake up and French kiss the [C]morning
While some [F]marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While [C]we're talking
About [Em]all of the things that I l[F]ong to believe
About [C]love the truth and what you mean to me
And the [F]truth is,
baby you're [G]all that [C]I n[G]eed

[Chorus 1]
I wanna [Am]lay you [G]down in a [F]bed of r[C]oses
For to[Am]night I [G]sleep on a [F]bed of [C]nails
Oh, I wanna [F]be just as [C]close as
the [F]Holy [C]Ghost is
And [Am]lay [G]you [F]down on a bed of r[C]oses

[Verse 3]
Well I'm [F]so far away
Each step that I take is on my [C]way home
A king's [F]ransom in dimes I give each night
To see through this [C]payphone
Still I [Em]run out of time
Or it's [F]hard to get through
'Til' the [C]bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll [F]just close my eyes and whisper
Baby [G]blind love [C]is [G]true

[Chorus 2]
I wanna [Am]lay you [G]down in a [F]bed of r[C]oses
For to[Am]night I [G]sleep on a [F]bed of [C]nails
Oh, I wanna [F]be just as [C]close as
the [F]Holy [C]Ghost is
And [Am]lay [G]you [F]down
on a bed of [C]roses[G]

[Bridge 1]
Well, this [F]hotel bar's
hangover [G]whiskey's gone dry
The bar[C]keeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I [F]might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard [G]I think
[C]I died, o[G]oh yeah

[Solo 1]

[Verse 4]
Now as [F]you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking a[C]bout you
While my [F]mistress she calls me
To stand in her [C]spotlight again
Tonight I [F]won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not [C]lonely
I've got [Am]nothing to [G]prove
For it's [F]you that I'd die to de[C]fend[G]

[Chorus 3]
I wanna [Am]lay you [G]down in a [F]bed of r[C]oses
For to[Am]night I [G]sleep on a [F]bed of [C]nails
Oh, I wanna [F]be just as [C]close as
the [F]Holy [C]Ghost is
And [Am]lay [G]you [F]down[C][G]

[Chorus 4]
I wanna [Am]lay you [G]down in a [F]bed of r[C]oses
For to[Am]night I [G]sleep on a [F]bed [C]of nails
I wanna [F]be just as [C]close as the [F]Holy [C]Ghost is
And [Am]lay [G]you [F]down in a bed of r[C]oses
