I was clean in the Petra, I was young and an actress,
When you knelt by my mattress and asked for [Eb] my hand,
[Ab] I was sad, you asked it, as I laid in a black dress,
With my father and a cast, I had [Bb] no plans,
[Ab]
And I left the footprints [Db] of a stain [Ab] on the carpet,
And it ought to lock my heart in when you [Eb] left town,
[Ab] But 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,
But [Ab] I was laid for [Eb] this, [Db] laid [Ab] for that, [Db]
laid for the [Eb] love of my life,
And [Ab] when I die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die alone, [Db]
die I'll be [Eb] on time,
[Ab]
While the church discouraged [Db] any lust that burned [Ab]
within me,
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I [Eb] held true,
[Ab] So I'd drive a taxi, [Db] and the traffic [Ab]
distracts me,
[Db] From the strangers in [Ab] my backseat, they remind [Eb] me of you,
But [Ab] I was laid [Eb] for this, [Db]
laid for that, laid for the [Ab] love [Eb] of my life,
And [Ab] when I die [Eb] alone, [Db] when I die alone, die I'll be [Eb] on time,
[Fm]
Lonely gifts from [Ab] my lord, [Db] were birth and [Eb] [Fm] death, divorce,
But [Ab] I've read this script [Fm] and the costume fits, [Db] so I [Eb] played my [Ab]
part,
I was clean, the petra, [Db] I was taller than [Ab] the rafters,
But I saw in the past love gone [Eb] with the wind,
[Ab] Now another white shoe, [Db] leads me back to my [Ab] guest home,
[Db] So bad I [Ab] ain't a bathroom, and a place [Eb] for the end,
I [Ab] won't be laid for this, laid for [Db] that, laid for the [Ebm] love of my life,
[Ab] And when I die [Ebm] alone, when I die [Db] alone, die I'll be [Eb] on time,
[Ab]
When you knelt by my mattress and asked for [Eb] my hand,
[Ab] I was sad, you asked it, as I laid in a black dress,
With my father and a cast, I had [Bb] no plans,
[Ab]
And I left the footprints [Db] of a stain [Ab] on the carpet,
And it ought to lock my heart in when you [Eb] left town,
[Ab] But 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,

laid for the [Eb] love of my life,
And [Ab] when I die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die alone, [Db]
die I'll be [Eb] on time,

But [Ab] I was laid [Eb] for this, [Db]
laid for that, laid for the [Ab] love [Eb] of my life,
And [Ab] when I die [Eb] alone, [Db] when I die alone, die I'll be [Eb] on time,
[Fm]
Lonely gifts from [Ab] my lord, [Db] were birth and [Eb] [Fm] death, divorce,
But [Ab] I've read this script [Fm] and the costume fits, [Db] so I [Eb] played my [Ab]

[Db] So bad I [Ab] ain't a bathroom, and a place [Eb] for the end,
I [Ab] won't be laid for this, laid for [Db] that, laid for the [Ebm] love of my life,
[Ab] And when I die [Ebm] alone, when I die [Db] alone, die I'll be [Eb] on time,
[Ab]
