Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses Chords

Intro -x2-: A# F A# F

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

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

Chorus:
         Dm Dm
I wanna lay
     C         A#     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm  Dm
For tonight
    C         A#     F
I sleep on a bed of nails
               A#
Oh, I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     A#    F
The Holy Ghost is
     Dm  C   A#  A#
And lay you down
A#      A#     F
  On a bed of roses

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

Chorus:
         Dm Dm
I wanna lay
     C         A#     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm  Dm
For tonight
    C         A#     F
I sleep on a bed of nails
               A#
Oh, I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     A#    F
The Holy Ghost is
     Dm  C   A#  A#
And lay you down
A#      A#     F     C
  On a bed of roses

Bridge:
           A#
Well this hotel bar hangover
  C                        F
Whiskey's gone dry the barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
   A#
I might have said yeah
       A#             C          F  F C   C
But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!...

Solo:
    Dm C A# F -3x-
    Dm C A# A# A# A#  F

Verse:
        A#
Now as you close your eyes
                        F
Know I'll be thinking about you
          A#
While my mistress she calls me
                         F
To stand in her spotlight again
           A#
tonight, I won't be alone
                                      F
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
          Dm          C             A#
I've got nothing to prove for it's you
          A#       F   C
That I'd die to defend

Chorus:
         Dm Dm
I wanna lay
     C         A#     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm  Dm
For tonight
    C         A#     F
I sleep on a bed of nails
               A#
Oh, I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     A#    F
The Holy Ghost is
     Dm  C   A#  A# A#
And lay you down
         Dm Dm
I wanna lay
     C         A#     F
You down in a bed of roses
       Dm  Dm
For tonight
    C         A#  F
I sleep on a be...ed of nails!
           A#
I want to be
          F
Just as close as
     A#    F
The Holy Ghost is!
 Dm  C   A#
Lay you down
A#      A#     F
    The bed of roses
