I wrote this one 10 years ago in a hotel room, watching over a wedding, with a bottle of vodka stuck right here.
[B] [E]
[F#m] [E] [A]
[E] [C#m] [E]
[F#m] [E] [A] Sitting here wasted [B] and wounded [C#m] at this old [E] piano
[F#m] [E] [A] Trying hard to capture [B] the moment, this [E] morning I don't [F#m] know
[G#m] Cause a bottle of [A] vodka's still lodged in my [E] head
Some blonde gave me madness, she's still [A] in my bed
[B] [A] As I dream about [C#] movies they won't make of [E] me, [B] when I'm dead
[E] [A] Moving like an eclipse, I wake up in French [E] kiss each morning
[F#] [E] While [A] some marching band keeps its own beat in my head [E] while we're talking
[G#] About all of the [C#m] things [A] I long to believe, the [E] love, the truth, what you mean to [A] me, the truth is
Baby, you're [E] all that I need
[B]
[C#m] [B] Laying [A] down in a [E] bed of roses, [C#m] for tonight I [B] sleep [A] on a bed [E] of nails
And I [A] wanna be just [E] as close as [A] the holy [E] ghost is
[C#m] [B] [A] Laying down on a [E] bed of roses, [B] I'm so far away, each step that I [E] take's on my [B] way home
Kings, ransom and dine, I give just a [E] seat through this pained home
Still [G#m] I run out [C#m] of time, [A] it's hard to get [E] through to the bird on the wire
As me back to [A] you, I just close my eyes and whisper, [B] baby, [E] my love is true
[B]
[C#m] [B] Laying [A] down in [E] a bed of roses, [C#m] for tonight [B] I [A] sleep on a [E] bed of nails
And I [A] long to be [E] just as close [A] as the [E] holy ghost is
[C#m] [B] [A] Laying down on a [E] bed of roses, [A] the hotel bar [B] hangover, whiskey rancher, [E] the barkeeper's wigs crooked
She's giving me the eye, [A] and I might have said yes, but I laughed [B] so hard I [E] think I died

[A] Now as you close your eyes, [B] know I'll be [E] thinking about you
[F#] [E] While [A] my mistress, she calls [E] me, to stand [A] in these
[E] spotlights again
[F#m] [E] Tonight, [A] I won't be alone, [B] just know it don't mean [E] I'm not [A] lonely
[E] I [C#m] got nothing [B] to [A] prove, but you [E] died a different
[G#m] And I [C#m] wanna lay [B] you down [A]
[E] in a bed of roses, [C#m] for tonight [B] I sleep [A] on a bed [E] of nails
And I [B] wanna be [E] just as close as [A] the [E] holy ghost is
