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.
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.
