[Verse] G I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress D When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand G But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress D With my father in a casket, I had no plans
[Break] G
[Pre-chorus] GCG And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet D And it hardened like my heart did when you left town GCG But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant D Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
[Chorus] GDCGCGD But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life GDCGCGD And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
[Break] G
[Pre-chorus II] GCG While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me D Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true GCG So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me CGD From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
[Chorus] GDCGCGD But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life GDCGCGD And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
[Bridge] EmGCDEm And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce GEmCDG But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
[Break] G
[Pre-chorus II] GCG I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters D But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind GCG Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom CG It's a bed and a bathroom D And a place for the end
[Chorus] GDCGCGD I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life GDCGCGD And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
