Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses Acoustic chords
Start Jamming...
That's it.
That's the whole band.
I don't know anyone else's name in the band.
I don't know their real name
if you put it that way.
I wrote this [N] one ten years ago in a hotel room
watching over a wedding with a bottle of vodka stuck right here.
[A] [B]
[E] [F#m]
[A] [E]
[C#m] [E] [F#m]
[A] Sitting here wasted [E] and wounded at this old piano
[F#m]
[A] Trying hard to capture [B] the moment, this morning [E] I don't know
[F#m]
[G#m] Cause a bottle of [A] vodka's still lodged in my [E] head
Some blonde gave me madness
She's still [A] in my bed
[B]
[A] As I dream about movies [B] they won't make of [E] me
[B] What I'm doing
[E]
[A] Moving my hand clenched fist
I wake up and French [E] kiss each morning
[F#]
While [A] some marching band keeps their [B] song beating in my head [E] while we're talking
About [G#] all of the things [A] I long to [E] believe
Love, the truth, would you mean [A] me?
The truth is, baby, [B] you're all [E] that I need
I [C#m] wanna lay [B] you [A] down in a [E] bed of roses
[C#m] For tonight [B] I'll sleep [A] on a bed [E] of nails
And I [A] wanna be just [E] as close as [A]
the Holy [E] Ghost is
[C#m]
Lay [B] you [A] down on a [E] bed of roses
[A] So far away, each step that I take's [E] on my way home
[B] Kings, ransom, and dimes
Give just a see through [E] this painful
Still [G#m] I run out [C#m] of time, [A] it's hard to get through
[E] To the bird on the wire, ask me back to you
[A] I just close my eyes and [A] whisper, baby, [B] my [E]
love is true
[B] [C#m]
Lay [B] you [A] down on a [E] bed of roses
For [C#m]
tonight [B] I'll sleep [A] on a bed [E] of nails
And I [A] long to be [E] just as close as [A] the Holy [E] Ghost is
[C#m]
Lay [B] [A] you down on a bed [E] of roses
[A] The hotel bar [B] hangover, whiskey, ranch, ah
The [E] barkeeper's wigs crooked, she's giving me the eye
And [A] I might have said yes, but I laughed so [B] hard I [E] think I died
[D#m] [C#m]
[B] [A] [E]
[C#m]
[B] [A] [E]
[C#m]
[B] [A] [E]
[C#m]
[B] [A] [E]
Now [A] as you close your eyes, [B] know I've been thinking [E]
about you
[F#] [E] While [A] my mistress, she calls me, [E] is standing in [A] these [E]
spotlights again
Tonight I [A] won't be alone, [B] just know it [A] don't mean I'm [E] not lonely
I [C#m] got nothing [B] to prove [A] but that you died [E] a different
[G#m] And I [C#m] wanna lay [B] [A] you down on a [E] bed of roses
For [C#m]
tonight [B] I'll sleep [A] on a bed [E] of nails
And I [B] wanna be just [E] as close as [A] the Holy Ghost is
[C#m]
Lay [B] [A] you down on a bed [E] of roses
[B]
[E] Ooh, [F#m]
[E] [A] ooh, [A]
[E]
[A] ooh
[B]
[E]
[C#m] Lay [B] you
