[Ab]
I was clean, a patchwork, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress and asked for [Eb] my hand
I [Ab]
was sad, you asked me, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no [Eb] plans
[Ab]
And I left the footprints [Db] of the mustang [Ab] on the carpet
And it hurt like my heart did when you [Eb] left town
But [Ab]
I must admit it, [Db] that I would marry you [Ab] in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to [Eb] have you around
[Ab] But I was [Eb] laid for this, [Db] [Ab] laid for that, [Db]
laid [Ab] for the [Eb] love of my life
[Ab] And when I [Eb] die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die alone, [Db]
[Ab] I'll be [Eb] your turn
[Ab] While the church discouraged [Db] any lust that [Ab] burned within me
Yes, my flesh, it was my currency, but I [Eb] held true
[Ab] So I'd drive a taxi [Db] when the traffic [Ab]
distracts me
[Db] From the strangers in [Ab] my backseat that [Eb] reminded you
That [Ab] I was [Eb] laid for this, [Db]
laid [Ab] for that, [Db] laid [Ab] for the love [Eb] of my life
And [Ab] when I die [Eb] alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die I'll be [Eb] your turn
[Fm]
Lonely gifts from [Ab] my lord [Db] were [Eb] birth and [Fm] death, divorce
But [Ab] I've read this script [Fm] in a costume fit, [Db] so I [Eb] played my [Ab]
part
I was clean in the Petra, [Db] I was tall in the [Ab] rafters
But I saw in the past love gone [Eb] with the wind
[Ab] Now I notice, and watch you, [Db] leads me back to my [Ab] castle
[Db] So bad I [Ab] had to pass through the place for [Eb] the end
I [Ab] won't be [Eb] laid for this, [Db] laid [Ab] for [Db] that, laid for [Ab] the [Ebm] love of my life
[Ab] And when I [Eb] die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die [Db] alone, [Ab] die I'll be [Eb] your turn
[Ab]

[Ab] And when I [Eb] die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die [Db] alone, [Ab] die I'll be [Eb] your turn
