Bed of roses (Bon Jovi) (in C)

C                                                                 G
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
          C                                                            G
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know.
             Bm                       C                                   G
'cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde
                                                                       C
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
                                          D                                     G
As I think about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.

            C                                                         G
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning.
            C                                                                                  G
While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking
         Bm                   C                                 G 
about all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth,
                                            C
what you mean to me and the truth is...
                  D           G    G/F#bas
Baby you're all that I need.

            Em       D            C       G               
Em    D              C       G 
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
            C             G                C      G          Em  D   C                        G
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.Lay you down, on a bed of roses.

     C                                                           G
I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
           
C                                                                             G
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone.
       
Bm                         C                                   G
But I run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
                                   C
flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes. 
                                 D              G      G/F#bas
And whisper "baby it's probably is true".

              C                   D
The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.
      G 
The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
  C                                                           D          G    G/F#
I might have said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.

Solo: Em D C G 4x

            C                                                                 G
Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking about you.
     C                                                                  G
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
              C                                                                     G
Tonight, I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.
           Em          D                C                 G    G/F#bas
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend.
