Prog A
sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
C F D5
'cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head
and some blond gave me nightmares
i think that she's still in my bed
C
as I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
F
with an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
F
while some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're
talking
C F D5
about all of the things that I long to believe,
C
about love, the truth and what you mean to me.
F D5 C
and the truth is, baby, you're all that I need.

F C D5 A7
i want to lay you down on a bed of roses
F G B
for tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
D5 A7 F D5 A7
i want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
F C D5
and lay you down on a bed of roses
F
well I'm so far away
C
each step that I take is on my way home
F
a king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
to see through this payphone
C F
still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
C
till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
F F D5 C
i'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true
Prog B
CHORUS
F G
where the hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
the barkeeper's wig's crooked
D5
and she's giving me the eye
C
well i might have said yeah
C C
but I laughed so hard I think I died

Prog A
now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you
while my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again tonite
I won't be alone but you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
F C
i've got nothing to prove
D5
for it's you that I'd die to defend
Prog C

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BON JOVI tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
