 Bb                                          F

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano

        Bb                                        F

Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know

          Am                       Bb

'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head

           F                                                 Bb

And some blond gave me nightmares, i think she's still in my bed

       Bb                     C                         F

As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

01:18:00  01:54:00

        Bb                                             F

With an ironclad fist, I wake up, and French kiss the morning

            Bb                                                   F

While some marching band keeps its own beat In my head while we're talking

      Am                         Bb

About all of the things, that I long to believe

       F                                              Bb

About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is

 Bb          C           F      F      C    C

Baby, you're all that I need

For tonight    I sleep on a bed of nails

              Bb    F  

Oh, I want to be  just as close as

The Holy Ghost is and lay you down

Bb      Bb    F

  On a bed of roses

02:32:50  03:09:00

           Bb                                        F

Well, I'm so far away each step that I take is on my way home

          Bb                                                  F

A King's ransom in dimes given each night to see through this payphone

         Am                      Bb

Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through

          F

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

      Bb

I'll just close my eyes, whisper

 Bb     C             F    F   C  C

Baby, blind love is true

03:09:00  03:47:00

            Bb

Well, this hotel bar hangover

  C                         F

Whiskey's gone dry, the barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

   Bb

I might have said yeah

       Bb             C          F  F C   C

But I laughed so hard I think I died, uh yeah!...

        Bb                                        F

Now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you

          Bb                                             F

While my mistress she calls   To stand in her spotlight again

            Bb                                                   F

Tonight, I won't be alone  But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely

          Dm          C             Bb            Bb       F   C

I've got nothing to prove for it's you  That I'd die to defend
