Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses

---

  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
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
And whisper "baby blind love 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
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
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.

          Am                                 Bb                                  F          
I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.

                               Bb                Bb                        C
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend.
