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
         Am                     B
'Cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head
         F                                                  B
And some blond gave me nightmares I think she's still in my bed
                             C                          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
      Am                        B
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
          Dm      C    B      F
I want to lay you in a bed of roses
    Dm        C          B      F
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
          B          F            B    F
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
    Dm  C   B              F
And lay you down on bed of roses
         B                                               F
Well I'm so far away that each step that I take is on my way home
         B                                                       F
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay phone
        Am                      B
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
         F
Till 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"

        B                  C
R: This hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
          F
   The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye
     B                                          C         F
   I might have said yeah but I laughed so hard I think I died
   
(solo)

       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                                                   F
Tonight I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
         B                             C               F
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend

R: This hotel...
