Testo

[Intro]

[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

[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
