[Verse 1]
G
I was Cleopatra,
I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress,
Dsus2
and asked for my hand
G
But I was sad you asked it,
as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket,
Dsus2
I had no plans
G
Yeah
[Verse 2]
G
And I left the footprints,
C G
the mud stained on the carpet
Dsus2
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
G
But I must admit it,
C G
that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife,
Dsus2
I'd be your mistress just to have you a-round
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 C
But I was late for this, late for that,
G C G Dsus2
late for the love of my life
G Dsus2 C G
And when I die alone, when I die alone,
C G Dsus2
die I'll be on time
Ah
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
G
While the church discouraged,
C G
any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency,
Dsus2
but I held true
G
So I drive a taxi,
C G
and the traffic distracts me
C G
From the strangers in my backseat,
Dsus2
they remind me of you
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 C
But I was late for this, late for that,
G C G Dsus2
late for the love of my life
G Dsus2 C G
And when I die alone, when I die alone,
C G Dsus2
when I die I'll be on time
[Interlude]
Em G C D Em
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
G Em
But I've read this script and the costume fits,
C D G
so I'll play my part
[Verse 4]
G
I was Cleopatra,
C G
I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past now,
Dsus2
gone with the wind
G C G
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
C G
It's a bed and a bathroom
D
And a place for the end
[Chorus]
G Dsus2 C
I won't be late for this, late for that,
G C G Dsus2
late for the love of my life
G Dsus2 C G
And when I die alone, when I die alone,
C G Dsus2
die I'll be on time
G
Ah
