Bed Of Roses chords by Bon Jovi

Chords with lyrics

Well i think this is the easiest way to play this song.

V.1

 C majorC
Sitting here wasted and wounded

 G+G
at this old piano

 C majorC
Trying hard to capture

                G+G
the moment this morning I don't know

  D MajorD
'Cause a bottle of vodka

 C majorC
is still lodged in my head

 G+G
And some blond gave me nightmares

                C majorC
I think that she's still in my bed

 C majorC
As I dream about movies

 D MajorD               G+G     D MajorD
they won't make of me when I'm dead


V. 2


 C majorC
With an ironclad fist I wake up and

        G+G
French kiss the morning

       C majorC
While some marching band keeps

C majorC
its own beat in my head

G+G
While we're talking

D MajorD               C majorC
About all of the things that I long to believe

    G+G
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me

 C majorC              D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

CHORUS :

E minorEm        D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC    G+G
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails

      C majorC      G+G     C majorC   G+G
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

E minorEm    D MajorD  C majorC        G+G
And lay you down on bed of roses


(this verse is played the same way as verse 2)

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A augmentedA king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true


CHORUS


C majorC            D MajorD
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry

G+G
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye

C majorC
I might have said yeah
           D MajorD    G+G
But I laughed so hard I think I died

C majorC
When you close your eyes
              G+G
Know I'll be thinking about you
      C majorC
While my mistress she calls me
              G+G
To stand in her spotlight again
      C majorC
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
         G+G E minorEm          D MajorD
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
     C majorC          G+G    D MajorD
For it's you that I'd die to defend

CHORUS
