Dm  C   Bb                F 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: ------     Bb                  C The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.        F                 The 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.
