A E Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know. G#m A E 'cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde A gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed. A B E As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead. A E With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning. A E While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking G#m A E about all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth, A what you mean to me and the truth is... A B (rhythm fig #1) Baby you're all that I need. Chorus: ------ C#m B A E (rhythm fig #3) I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses. C#m B A E (rhythm fig #2) Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails. A E A E I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. C#m B A E Lay you down, on a bed of roses. Verse #2: A E Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home. A E A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone. G#m A E Still I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire A flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes. A B E And whisper "baby it probably is true". Bridge: ------ A B The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry. E The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye. A A B E I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.

A E My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. A E I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.
