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.
