Key:
^ = hammer/pull
/ = slide
(b)n = bend to fret n
~ = vibrato
\/ = push whammy to lower note a semitone, then release (done quickly)
( ) = implied notes - optional
Note: This was transcribed from the MTV "plugged" version so it may be
different from the recorded version. I've done the intro and the
solo, but none of the fills during the verses. Some of the lyrics
may be a bit wrong too. Anyway...

Verse 1: (Keyboard part played over the top)
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
SIb FATrying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know.
LAm SIb FA'cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
SIb DO FAAs I think about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.
SIb FAWith an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning.
While a marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking
LAm SIb FAabout all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth,
SIbwhat you mean to me and the truth is...
Bb C (rhythm fig #1)
Baby you're all that I need.
Chorus
Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #3)
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
Dm C Bb F (rhythm fig #2)
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
SIb FA SIb FAI wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
Verse #2:
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.
But I'd 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 it probably is true".
Bridge:
SIb DO
The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.
FAThe bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
Bb Bb C F (rhythm fig. #1)
I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.
