CSitting here wasted and wounded

Gat this old piano
CTrying hard to capture
Gthe moment this morning I don't know
D'Cause a bottle of vodka
Cis still lodged in my head
GAnd some blond gave me nightmares
CI think that she's still in my bed
CAs I dream about movies
DthGeyD won't make of me when I'm dead

V. 2

CWith an ironclad fist I wake up and
GFrench kiss the morning
CWhile some marching band keeps
Cits own beat in my head
GWhile we're talking
DAbCout all of the things that I long to believe
GAbout love and the truth and
what you mean to me
CAnDd GthDe truth is baby you're all that I need

CHORUS :
e I wDanCt Gto lay you down in a bed of roses
e ForD tConGite I sleep on a bed on nails
CI GwaCntG to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
e AndD lCayG you down on bed of roses

(this verse is played the same way as verse 2)
Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

CHORUS


CThDe hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
GThe barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
CI might have said yeah
DBuGt I laughed so hard I think I died
CWhen you close your eyes
GKnow I'll be thinking about you
CWhile my mistress she calls me
GTo stand in her spotlight again
CTonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
GMee an DI'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
CFoGr Dit's you that I'd die to defend
