'Bed Of Roses' by Bon Jovi - Guitar Tutorial

            Intro: D 
 
        G                                         D
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano. 
        G                                         D
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know. 
          F#m                    G                       D
'Cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde 
                                                    G
Gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed. 
      G                      A                         D
As I think about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead. 
 
         G                                          D
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning. 
         G                                       D
While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head 
while we're talking 
      F#m                  G                       D         
About all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth,
                             G
What you mean to me and the truth is... 
 G          A             D
Baby you're all that I need. 
 
Chorus:
         Bm      A         G     D  
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses. 
 Bm        A          G     D  
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails. 
         G         D            G   D
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. 
 Bm  A   G                D
Lay you down, on a bed of roses. 
 
         G                                          D
I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home. 
         G                                      D
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see
through this payphone. 
        F#m                      G               D         
But I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through 
till the bird on the wire 
                                     G
Flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes.  
                   G             A
And whisper "baby blind love is true". 
 
Bridge: 
     G                  A
The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry. 
        D                
The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye. 
   G                       G              A         D  
I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died. 
 
         G                                          D
Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking about you. 
         G                                            D
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again. 
        F#m                      G                       D         
I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely. 
                      G           G                A
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend. 
 
Chorus:
         Bm      A         G     D  
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses. 
 Bm        A          G     D  
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails. 
         G         D            G   D
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
