Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses Chords & Tabs

Bed of roses

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

[Verso 2:]
        Em
With an ironclad fist
                                Am
I wake up, and French kiss the morning
            G
While some marching band keepsits own beat
                      Em
In my head while we're talking
      Am                        Em
About all of the things, that I long to believe
       C     Em         Am
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
          Em
And the truth is
 C          G          C  C  G G*
Baby, you're all that I need

[Refrão 1:]
         G 
I wanna lay
    Am              Em
You down in a bed of roses
       G 
For tonite
    Am              Em
I sleep on a bed of nails
               G
Oh, I want to be
          Em
Just as close as
     G    Em
The Holy Ghost is
     G  Em   Am  
And lay you down
Em
  On a bed of roses

[Verso 3:]
          Am
Well I'm so far away
                           Em
Step that I take is on my way home
        Am
King's ransom in dimes
                                      Em
Given each night to see through this payphone
         Am
Still I run out of time
        Em
Or it's hard to get through
          Am
Till the bird on the wire
              Em
Flies me back to you
      Am
I'll just close my eyes, whisper
 C     G            C C  G G
Baby, blind love is true

[Refrão 2:]
         G 
I wanna lay
     Am              Em
You down in a bed of roses
       G 
For tonite
    Am              Em
I sleep on a bed of nails
               Am
Oh, I want to be
         Em
Just as close as
     G    Em
The Holy Ghost is
     G  Em   Am   
And lay you down
Em     
  On a bed of roses

[Ponte:]
            Am      Em
Well this hotel bar hangover
 G                        Em
Whiskey's gone dry the barkeeper's wig's crooked
           Am
And she's giving me the eye
   Em
I might have said yeah
       Am            Em              G   
But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!...

[Solo:] Am-G-Em (*3)

[Verso 4:]
        Am            Em
Now as you close your eyes
 Am                       Em
Know I'll be thinking about you
          Am          Em
While my mistress she calls me
                 Am
To stand in her spotlight again
Em                  Am
Tonite, I won't be alone
                                      Em
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
          Am          G           Em
I've got nothing to prove for it's you
         Am     Em     G G C C
That I'd die to defend

[Refrão 3:]
         G 
I wanna lay
     Am              Em
You down in a bed of roses
       G 
For tonite
    Am              Em
I sleep on a bed of nails
               Am
Oh, I want to be
         Em
Just as close as
     G    Em
The Holy Ghost is
     G  Em   Am   
And lay you down
         G
I wanna lay
    Am               Em
You down in a bed of roses
       G 
For tonite
   Am         G         Am
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
           
I want to be             
         Em
Just as close as 
     G    Em
The Holy Ghost is!
 G   Em  Am
Lay you down
   A      Em
The bed of roses
