Bon Jovi – Bed Of Roses

[Intro:] 
Bb  F  Bb  F
Bb  F  Bb  F

[Verse I:]
 Bb
Sitting here wasted and wounded
           F
This old piano
        Bb
Trying hard to capture the moment
                F
This morning I don't know
         Am 
Cause a bottle of vodka 
          Bb
is still lodged in my head
           F
And some blond gave me nightmares
                         Bb
Think she's still in my bed
       Bb                   
As I dream about movies they 
 C                         F
won't make of me when I'm dead

[Verse II:]
        Bb
With an ironclad fist
                                F
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
            Bb
While some marching band keepsits own beat
                      F
In my head while we're talking
      Am                 
About all of the things, 
        Bb
that I long to believe
       F
About love, the truth, 
F
what you mean to me
          Bb
And the truth is
 Bb          C           F   C
Baby, you're all that I need..

[Chorus:]
         Dm
I wanna lay..
     C         Bb     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm  Dm
For tonite
    C         Bb     F
I sleep on a bed of nails
               Bb
Oh, I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     Bb    F
The Holy Ghost is
     Dm  C   Bb  
And lay you down..
Bb             F
  On a bed of roses

[Verse III:]
          Bb
Well I'm so far away
                           F
Step that I take is on my way home
        Bb
King's ransom in dimes
Bb                
Given each night to see 
              F
through this payphone
         Am
Still I run out of time
         Bb
Or it's hard to get through
          F
Till the bird on the wire
F
Flies me back to you
      Bb
I'll just close my eyes, whisper
 Bb     C             F  C
Baby, blind love is true..

[Chorus:]
         Dm 
I wanna lay..
     C         Bb     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm  Dm
For tonite
    C         Bb     F
I sleep on a bed of nails
               Bb
Oh, I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     Bb    F
The Holy Ghost is
     Dm  C   Bb 
And lay you down..
Bb             F     C
  On a bed of roses

[Bridge:]
           Bb
Well this hotel bar hangover
  C               
Whiskey's gone dry 
        F
the barkeeper's wig's crooked
F
And she's giving me the eye
   Bb
I might have said yeah
       Bb             
But I laughed so hard 
C          F    C  
I think I died, uh yeah!...

[Interlude:] 
Dm  C  Bb  F  
Dm  C  Bb  F  
Dm  C  Bb  F  
Dm  C  Bb  F

[Verse IV:]
        Bb
Now as you close your eyes
                        F
Know I'll be thinking about you
          Bb
While my mistress she calls me
                         F
To stand in her spotlight again
           Bb
Tonite, I won't be alone
Bb                
But you know that 
                     F
don't mean I'm not lonely
          Dm          C             Bb
I've got nothing to prove for it's you
          Bb       F   C
That I'd die to defend

[Chorus:]
         Dm 
I wanna lay..
     C         Bb     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm 
For tonite..
    C         Bb     F
I sleep on a bed of nails
               Bb
Oh, I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     Bb    F
The Holy Ghost is
     Dm  C   Bb 
And lay you down..

         Dm 
I wanna lay..
     C         Bb     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm 
For tonite..
    C         Bb  F
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
           Bb
I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     Bb    F
The Holy Ghost is!
 Dm  C   Bb 
Lay you down
             F
The bed of roses..
