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 castle, I [Bb] had no plans
And I left the footprints [Db] of a stain [Ab] on the carpet
And it hurt like my heart did 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
[Ab] But I was [Eb] laid for this, [Db] [Ab] laid for [Db] that, [Ab] laid 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 turn
[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'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 [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 die [Ab] alone, [Db] [Ab] die I'll be your [Eb]
turn
[Fm]
Lonely gifts from [Ab] my lord [Db] were [Eb] birth and [Fm] death, divorce
And [Ab] I've read this script [Fm] in a costume of filth, [Db] so I played [Ab] my part
I was clean, a fat truck, [Db] I was taller than [Ab] the rafters
But that's all in the past, love gone [Eb] with the wind
[Ab] Now I nurse and watch you, [Db] leads me back to [Ab] my guest room
[Db] So bare in [Ab] the past, and a [Eb] place for the end
I [Ab] won't be [Ebm] laid for this, [Db] laid [Ab] for that, [Db]
laid [Ab] for the [Ebm] love of my life
[Ab] And when I [Ebm] die alone, [Db] when I [Ab] die [Db] alone, [Ab] die I'll be [Eb] your turn

[Eb] my hand I [Ab]

laid [Ab] for the [Ebm] love of my life
