Bon Jovi - Bed of roses

Bon Jovi - Bed of roses

[Intro] B F B F (2x)

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Solo] Dm-Dm-B-F (3x) Dm-C-B-B B-B F

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

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