Bed of Roses
Bon Jovi
Intro [Dm] [C] [Bb] [Bb] | [F] [F] [F] [F] x4
[Bb]Sittin’ here wasted and wounded with this old pi[F]ano
Tryin’ [Bb]hard to capture the moment, this morning I [F]don’t know
‘Cos a [Am]bottle of vodka’s still [Bb]lodged in my hand, some [F]blonde gave me nightmares, I think that she’s still in my [Bb]Bed... as I dream about movies
they [C]won’t make of me when I’m [F]Dead
With an [Bb]iron-clad fist... wake up... French kiss the [F]morning
While some [Bb]marching band keeps it’s own beat in my head while we’re [F]talking
About [Am]all of the things that I [Bb]long to believe... about [F]love, truth, what you mean to me
And the [Bb]truth is... baby you’re [C]all that I [F]need [Am]
Chorus
I wanna [Dm]lay you [C]down in a [Bb]bed of [F]roses
For to[Dm]night I [C]sleep on a [Bb]bed of [F]nails
Oh I wanna [Bb]be... just as [F]close as... the [Bb]ho-o-oly [F]ghost is [Dm]Lay [C]you [Bb]down... on a bed of [F]roses
Well I’m [Bb]so far away... each step that I take’s on my [F]way home
A king’s [Bb]ransom in dimes... I’d give each night to see through this [F]payphone
Still I [Am]run out of time, or it’s [Bb]hard to get through... till the [F]bird on the wire... flies me back to you
I [Bb]just close my eyes... and whisper, baby [C]blind love is [F]true [Am] Chorus
Well this [Bb]hotel bar’s hangover [C]whiskey's gone dry...
the bar[F]keeper's wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye
I [Bb]might have said yeah... but I laughed so hard [C]I think I [F]died, [Am]ooh yeah...
Instrumental – three strums for each note
[Dm] [Dm] [C] [Bb] | [F] [F] [F] [F] x3 [Dm] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [Bb] [Bb] | [F] [F] [F] [F] x1
Now as [Bb]you close your eyes... know I'll be thinking a[F]bout you
While my [Bb]mistress she calls me... to stand in her spotlight[F] again
Tonight I [Bb]won't be alone, but you know that don't mean I'm not [F]lonely I've got [Dm]nothing to [C]prove, for it's [Bb]you that I'd die to de[F]fend [Am]
I wanna [Dm]lay you [C]down in a [Bb]bed of [F]roses
For to[Dm]night I [C]sleep on a [Bb]bed of [F]nails
Oh I wanna [Bb]be, just as [F]close as, the [Bb]ho-o-oly [F]ghost is [Dm]Lay [C]you [Bb]down... [F] [F] [C] [C]
