Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses

(Jon Bon Jovi)

Tab by: Gary Chapman (s902151@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au)

Capo: 3rd Fret

INTRO:  [G]   [D]  (x4)

[G]Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old [D]piano.
Trying [G]hard to capture the moment, this morning I [D]don't know.
'cause a [F#m]bottle of vodka still [G]lodged in my head and some [D]blonde
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my [G]bed.
As I think about movies they [A]won't make of me when I'm [D]dead.

With an [G]iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the [D]morning.
While some [G]marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're [D]talking
about [F#m]all of the things I [G]longed to believe, about [D]love, the truth,
what you mean to me and the [G]truth is...
Baby you're [A]all that I need

CHORUS:
I wanna [Bm]lay you [A]down in a bed of [G]roses  [D]
For [Bm]Tonight I [A]sleep on a bed of [G]nails  [D]
I wanna [G]be just as [D]close as the [G]Holy [D]Ghost is
And [Bm]Lay [A]you [G]down, on a bed of [D]roses.

I'm [G]so far away, each step that I take's on my [D]way home.
A king's [G]ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this [D]payphone.
But I'd [F#m]run out of time or it's [G]hard to get through 'til the [D]bird on the wire
flies me back to you. I'll [G]just close my eyes.
And whisper "[A]baby it probably is [D]true".

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
The [G]hotel bars hangover [A]whiskey's gone dry.
The [D]bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
I [G]might've said yes, but I laughed so hard [A]I think I [D]died.

REPEAT INTRO

Now as [G]you close your eyes, know I'll be thinking a[D]bout you
While my [G]mistress she calls me to stand in her [D]spotlight again
Tonight, I [G]won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not [D]lonely
I've got [G]nothing to prove, for its [A]you that I'd die to de[D]fend

CHORUS #2:
I wanna [Bm]lay you [A]down in a bed of [G]roses  [D]
For [Bm]Tonight I [A]sleep on a bed of [G]nails  [D]
I wanna [G]be just as [D]close as the [G]Holy [D]Ghost is
And [Bm]Lay [A]you [G]down...  [D]
