I was clean, a patron, I was young and an actress.
When you knelt by my mattress and asked for [Eb] my hand.
I .
[Ab] was sad, you asked it, as I laid in a black dress.
With my father in a casket, I had no [Eb] plans .
[Ab] And .
I left footprints [Db] of my stain [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] late for this, [Db] [Ab] late for that, [Db] late [Ab] for the [Eb] 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 girl .
[Ab] And .
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 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 [Eb] late for this, [Db] late [Ab] for that, [Db] late [Ab] for the love [Eb] of my life.
And [Ab] when I die [Eb] alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die [Db] alone, [Ab] die I'll be [Eb] your time .
[Fm] Lonely gifts from [Ab] my lord [Db] were [Eb] birth and [Fm] death, divorce .
But [Ab] I've read this script [Fm] and the costume fits, [Db] so [Eb] I played my [Ab] part.
I .
was clean, you played true, [Db] I was taller than [Ab] the rafters.
But that's all in the past, I'm gone [Eb] with the wind .
[Ab] Now I'm nervous, in white shoes, [Db] leads me back to my [Ab] guest room.
[Db] It's a bed [Ab] and a bathroom, and a place [Eb] for you.
I [Ab] won't be [Eb] late for this, [Db] [Ab] late for [Db] that, late [Ab] for the [Ebm] love of my life.
[Ab] And when I [Ebm] die alone, [Db] when I die [Ab] [Db] alone, [Ab] die I'll be your [Eb] time.
Time.
