[Gm]
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress, when you knelt by my mattress and [D] asked for
my hand, [Gm] I was sad, you asked it [C] as I laid [G] in a black dress, with my father in a casket,
I [D] had no plans, [G] and I left the footprints that might stain on the carpet, it hearted
like my heart did when you [D] left town, [G] but I must admit it, that I would marry you in
an instant, damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to [D] have you around, [Gm] but I was
[D] late for [G] this, late for that, late for the love [D] of my [G] life, and when I die alone, die
alone, and I die it'll [D] be on time, [G] while
[Gm] the church discouraged any [C] lust [G] that burned within
me, yes my flesh, it was my currency that I held [D] true, [G] so I drive a taxi, and the traffic
distracts me, from the strangers in my backseat that remind [D] me of you, but I was late for this,
[G] late for that, [A] late for the love [D] of my life, and when I die alone, [G] die alone, and I die
it'll be [D] on time, the
[G] only gifts from my lord, were a birth and [Em] a divorce, [Gm] but I've read this
[Em] script and the costume fits, [Gm] so I'll play my part, I was clean, of that chart, I was [C] taller than [Gm] the
but that's all in the past now, and [D] gone with the wind, [Gm] and now a nurse, in white shoes, leads me back
to my guest room, [C] it's a bed [G] and a bathroom, and a place for [D] the end, [G] I won't be late for this,
late for that, late for the love [D] of my life, and [Gm] when I [D] die alone, [G] die alone, and I die it'll [D] be on time
