    Note: This was transcribed from the MTV "plugged" version so it may be
    different from the recorded version. I've done the intro and the

    may be a bit wrong too. Anyway...

    Verse 1: (Keyboard part played over the top)
     
  • 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 (rhythm fig #1)
    Baby you're all that I need.
     
  •  
    Chorus:
     
  • Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #3)
    I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
    Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #2)
  • 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.
     
  •  
    Verse #2:
     
  • I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
    A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone.
    But I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
  • flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes.
    And whisper "baby it probably is true".
     
  • Bridge:
     
    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 (rhythm fig. #1)
    I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.

    Verse 3:
     
  • Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking about you.
    My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
    I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.
  • I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend.
