Bed Of Roses
Bon Jovi

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          F     (f – g – f – e)
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             F    (f – g – f – e)
And whisper "baby probably it's true".

CHORUS

    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
Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking about you.
         Bb						F
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
       	Bb						     F
Tonight, I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.	
         Am         C              Bb              F     (f – g – f – e)
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend.

CHORUS (x2)
