E
There's something 'bout your manner
     B
That makes it hard to see
     C#m              
Just how you take advantage
     A
Of a workin' girl like me
     E
I've seen you set 'em up
    B
And I've seen you take 'em down
     C#m
Our love is legal tender
         B
For your kind to pass around

CHORUS
                E      C#m    B
Don't want your bed of roses
                             E  C#m  B     
Don't want no handful of thorns
                      E     C#m B
Don't want to be your livin' doll
                    F#         B
Don't want to be no woman scorned
                           A
I don't want to watch you turn the page
B                   C#m   A
When our chapter closes
                  F#
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
B                 C#m    B
In your bed of roses

VERSE 2
         E 
I've tasted good and bad love
     B
In the honky-tonks and bars
    C#m
I've settled for the moon
    A
When I was reachin' for the stars
    E
And though sometimes I have stumbled
   B
I've been known to fall
    C#m
It was always true love
        B
That took me to the wall

CHORUS
                E      C#m    B
Don't want your bed of roses
                             E  C#m  B     
Don't want no handful of thorns
                      E     C#m B
Don't want to be your livin' doll
                    F#         B
Don't want to be no woman scorned
                           A
I don't want to watch you turn the page
B                   C#m   A
When our chapter closes
                  F#
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
B                 C#m    B
In your bed of roses

BRIDGE
C#m             B               A                                     
Girl you better hide you love away
C#m             B                   A
Girl you better save it for another day

                E      C#m    B
Don't want your bed of roses
                             E  C#m  B

Don't want to be no woman scorned
                           A
I don't want to watch you turn the page
B                   C#m   A
When our chapter closes
                  F#
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
B                 C#m    B
In your bed of roses
