BED OF ROSES
Original Artist -BON JOVI
(Jon Bon Jovi)

Verse 1
sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
trying hard to capture
the moment, this morning I don't know
'cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
and some blonde gave me nightmares
i think that she's still in my bed
as I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

Verse 2
with an ironclad fist
i wake up and french kiss the morning
while some marching band keeps
it's own beat in my head
while we're talking
about all of the things that I long to believe
about love and the truth and what you mean to me
and the truth is, baby you're all that I need

Chorus 1
i wanna lay you down in a BED OF ROSES
for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
and lay you down on a BED OF ROSES

Verse 3
well I'm so far away
each step that I take's on my way home
a king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
to see through this payphone
still I run out of time
or it's hard to get through
till the bird on the wire leads me back to you
i just close my eyes and whisper
baby blind love is true

Chorus 2
i wanna lay you down in a BED OF ROSES
for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
ooh, I wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
and lay you down on a BED OF ROSES

Middle 8
well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
the barkeeper's wig's crooked
and she's giving me the eye
well i might have said yeah
but I laughed so hard I think I died, ooh yeah

Guitar Solo

Verse 4
now as you close your eyes
know I'll be thinking about you
while my mistress she calls me
to stand in her spotlight again
tonight I won't be alone
but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
i've got nothing to prove
for it's you that I'd die to defend

Chorus 3
i wanna lay you down in a BED OF ROSES
for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
ooh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
and lay you down

Chorus 4
i wanna lay you down on a BED OF ROSES
for tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
i wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
and lay you down
on a BED OF ROSES
