Chords with lyrics

Intro: C majorC

      FF                        C majorC
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano.
      FF                          C majorC
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know.
       E minorEm           FF                  C majorC
'Cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head and some blonde
                                  FF
Gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
    DmDm              G+G                   C majorC
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.
      FF                           C majorC
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french-kiss the morning.
           FF                                    C majorC
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking
     E minorEm             FF
About all of the things that I long to believe,
     C majorC                            FF
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
DmDm      G+G   C majorC
   Baby you're all that I need.

      A minorAm   G+G     FF   C majorC
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.

For Tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails. ohh
       FF      C majorC         FF  C majorC
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is.
    A minorAm  G+G  FF          C majorC
And Lay you down, on a bed of roses.

Verse two

Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
       FF                                     C majorC
A augmentedA king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay phone.
     E minorEm           FF                 C majorC
Still I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
                  FF
Flies me back to You I'll just close my eyes.
      DmDm  G+G      C majorC
Whisper baby blind love is true.

Well this hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.
      C majorC                      E minorEm
The barkepper's wig's crooked, and she's giving me the eye.
     FF                 DmDm         G+G      C majorC
Well I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died....ooh yeah
