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, yeah

Verse 2
G
And I left the footprints,
C
G
the mud stain on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did
Dsus2
when you left town
G
But I must admit it,
C
G
that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress
Dsus2
just to have you around
Chorus 1

And when I die alone, when I die alone,

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 2
G

die I'll be on time

Em
G
And the only gifts from my Lord
C

Em
were a birth and a divorce
G

But I've read this script and the costume fits,
C

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 love,
Dsus2
gone with the wind
G
Now a nurse in white shoes
C
G
leads me back to my guestroom
C
G
It's a bed and a bathroom
Dsus2
And a place for the end
Chorus 3
G
D
C

I won't be late for this, late for that,

late for the love of my life

And when I die alone, when I die alone,

die I'll be on time, ah
