Sitting here wasted and wounded

This old piano

Trying hard to capture the moment

This morning I don't know

And some blond gave me nightmares

Think she's still in my bed

As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
[Verse 2]
Bb
With an ironclad fist
F
I wake up, and French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps its own beat
F
In my head while we're talking
Am Bb
About all of the things, that I long to believe

About love, the truth, what you mean to me

And the truth is

On a bed of roses

Bb
Well, I'm so far away

Each step that I take is on my way home
Bb
A King's ransom in dimes
F
Given each night to see through this payphone
Am
Still I run out of time

Or it's hard to get through

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

Well, this hotel bar hangover

Whiskey's gone dry, the barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
