BED OF ROSES (Bon Jovi)
B F
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano.
B F
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know.
a d
´Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
F B
And some blond gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
C(7) F
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.
B F
With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning.
B F
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking.
a d
About all of the things that I long to believe,
F
About love and the truth and what you mean to me,
B C F
And the truth is, baby, you're all that I need.
F B C B F
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses.
B C B F
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
B F B F
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
B C B F
And lay you down on a bed of roses.
F B F
Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
B F
A king's ransom in dimes, I'd give each night to see through this payphone.
a d
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through,
F
Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you.
B C F
I'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true.
REFRAIN
F B C F
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry, the barkeeper's wig's crooked
B
And she's giving me the eye. Well, I might have said yeah,
C F
But I laughed so hard I think I died.
B F
Now as you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking about you.
B F
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
B
Tonight - I won't be alone but you know that don't mean
F B C B C F
I'm not lonely,- I've got nothing to prove, for it's you that I'd die to defend.
