(keep playing Prog A for intro)
Prog A
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don’t know
C F D5
’cause a bottle of vodka’s still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she’s still in my bed
C
As I dream about movies they won’t make of me when I’m dead
F
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
F
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we’re
Talking
C F D5
About all of the things that I long to believe,
C
About love, the truth and what you mean to me.
F D5 C
And the truth is, baby, you’re all that I need.

F C D5 A7
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
F G B
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
D5 A7 F D5 A7
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
F C D5
And lay you down on a bed of roses
F
Well I’m so far away
C
Each step that I take is on my way home
F
A king’s ransom in dimes I’d give each night
To see through this payphone
C F
Still I run out of time or it’s hard to get through
C
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
F F D5 C
I’ll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true
Prog B
CHORUS
F G
Where the hotel bar hangover whiskey’s gone dry
The barkeeper’s wig’s crooked
D5
And she’s giving me the eye
C
Well i might have said yeah

But I laughed so hard I think I died

Prog A
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 tonite
I won’t be alone but you know that don’t mean I’m not lonely
F C
I’ve got nothing to prove
D5
For it’s you that I’d die to defend
Prog C
