Bed Of Roses lyrics by Bon Jovi
BED OF ROSESBon Jovi (MTA1484 - Key:B - Tempo: - Time:6.06) www.hittrax.com.au
INTRO: --> (16 BARS)
V1 Sittin' here wasted and wounded, at this old piano
Tryin' hard to capture the moment, this morning I don�t know
�cos this bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares I think that she�s still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won�t make of me when I�m dead
V2 With an ironclad fist, I wake up and French kiss the mornin'
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we�re talkin'
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me
And the truth is... baby you�re all that I need
CHORUS -----
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight, I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Ohh.. I wanna be, just as close as, the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down... on bed of roses
V3 Well I�m so far away, each step that I take's on my way home
A king�s ransom in dimes I�d give each night to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or it�s hard to get through
'til the bird on the wire, flies me back to you
I just close my eyes, and whisper, baby... blind love is true
CHORUS
MIDDLE -----
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey�s gone dry
The barkeeper�s wig�s crooked, and she�s givin' me the eye
Well I might have said yeah, but I'd laugh so hard I think I'd die
GUITAR SOLO --> (8 BARS)
V4 Now as you close your eyes, know I�ll be thinkin' about you
While my mistress she calls me, to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight, I won�t be alone...
But you know that don�t mean I�m not lonely
I got nothin' to prove for it�s you that I�d die to defend
CHORUS (X2)
OUTRO -----
