B F
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
B F
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
Am B
'Cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head
F B
And some blond gave me nightmares I think she's still in my bed
C F
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
B F
With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning
B F
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking
Am B
About all of the things that I long to believe
F
About love and the truth and what you mean to me
B C F
And the truth is baby you're all that I need
Dm C B F
I want to lay you in a bed of roses
Dm C B F
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails
B F B F
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
Dm C B F
And lay you down on bed of roses
B F
Well I'm so far away that each step that I take is on my way home
B F
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay phone
Am B
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
F
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
B C F
I'll just close my eyes and whisper "baby blind love is true"

B C
This hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
F
The barkeeper's wig's crooked and she's giving me the eye
B C F
I might have said yeah but I laughed so hard I think I died
Solo
B F
Now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you
B F
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
B F
Tonight I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
B C F
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend
