[Intro]
Ab

[Verse 1]
Ab
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
Eb
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
Ab
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
Eb Ab
With my father in a casket, I had no plans

[Verse 2]
Ab Db Ab
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
Eb
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
Ab Db Ab
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Eb
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

[Chorus]
Ab Eb Db Ab Db Ab Eb
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
Ab Eb Db Ab Db Ab Eb
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time


[Verse 3]
Ab Db Ab
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Eb
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
Ab Db Ab
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
Db Ab Eb
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

[Chorus]
Ab Eb Db Ab Db Ab Eb
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
Ab Eb Db Ab Db Ab Eb
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Bridge]
Fm Ab Db Eb Fm
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
Ab Fm Db Eb Ab
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

[Verse 4]
Ab Db Ab
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
Eb
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
Ab Db Ab
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
Db Ab
It's a bed and a bathroom
Eb
and a place for the end

[Chorus]
Ab Eb Db Ab Db Ab Eb
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
Ab Eb Db Ab Db Ab Eb
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Outro]
Ab
