Bed Of Roses by Bon Jovi

Semalam setelah beres nonton drama Taiwan berjudul Qian Jiang You Shui Qian Jiang Yue di DAATV yang dibintangi oleh Sun Shu Mei, secara iseng gue ganti-ganti channel nyari acara yang lebih oke. Tiba-tiba gue terhenti di cahnnel SpaceToon yang lagi muter videoklip Bed Of Roses-nya Bon Jovi. Gila, memori gue langsung terlempar ke pertengahan era 1990-an. Waktu itu gue masih SD dan naksir cewek bernama Siska yang rela gue kejar secara sembunyi-sembunyi sampai rumahnya cuman buat ngasih coklat SilverQueen doang. Belakangan cara gue tersebut menjadi cirikhas gue yang -menurut banyak orang- misterius, gitu deh. By the way, duet suara Jon Bon Jovi Ankafia (uhuk!) sama Richie Sambora emang gak ada matinya. Apalagi untuk tembang-tembang Bon Jovi yang melankolis. By the way juga kalian (para pembaca setia blog gue yang terhormat) musti coba lihat drama Taiwan berjudul Qian Jiang You Shui Qian Jiang Yue (Rembulan Di Atas Sungai) di DAATV setiap hari pukul 22.00 WIB. Emang sekilas sepertinya membosankan. Alur ceritanya sangat sederhana namun realistis. Banyak mengandung pesan-pesan moral agar manusia hidup saling toleransi dan menolong yang (sudah) tidak mampu.

[Verse 1]

Bb                                            F
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
      Bb                                          F
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know
         Am                       Bb
'Cause a bottle of vodka's still lodged in my head and some
F                           Fsus4           F           Bb
Blonde gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed
                             C                          F
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead


[Verse 2(as verse 1)]

With an iron clad fist I wake up and frnch kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while were talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth and what you mean to me

Bb                             C           F
And the truth is, baby you're all that I need


[Chorus]
(Richie sings backround vocals three steps higher)
         Dm       C        Bb        F
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
    Dm         C        Bb      F
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
           Bb          F           Bb     F
Oh, I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
    Dm   C   Bb               F
And lay you down on a bed of roses


[Verse 3]

Well 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
Still I run out if time 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 blind love is true

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

C          Bb                       C
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's ran dry
          F
The bar keeper's wig's crooked and she's givin' me the eye
       Bb                               C          F
Well I might have said yes, but I laughed, till I died



[Interlude]

Play  'Dm - C - Bb - F' four times in the same rhythm as the chourus


[Breakdown]

       Bb                                                 F
Now as you close your eyes, you know I'll be thinking about you
          Bb                                               F
While my mistress, she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
            Bb                                            F
Tonight, I won't be alone, to know that don't mean I'm not lonely
         Dm          C            Bb                     F
I've got nothin' to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend

[Chorus] x2
