0Intro: G#0 1 G#1 2I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress D#2 3When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand G#3 4But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress D#4 5With my father in a casket, I had no plans 6 G#5 C#6 G#7 7And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet D#8 8And it hardened like my heart did when you left town G#9 C#10 G#11 9But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant D#12 10Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around 11 G#13 D#14 C#15 G#16 C#17 G#18 D#19 12But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G#20 D#21 C#22 G#23 C#24 G#25 D#26 13And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time 14 G#27 C#28 G#29 15While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me D#30 16Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true G#31 C#32 G#33 17So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me C#34 G#35 D#36 18From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you 19 Fm37 G#38 C#39 D#40 Fm41 20And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce G#42 Fm43 C#44 D#45 G#46 21But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part 22 G#47 C#48 G#49 23I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters D#50 24But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind G#51 C#52 G#53 25Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom C#54 G#55 26It's a bed and a bathroom D#56 27And a place for the end 28 G#57 D#58 C#59 G#60 C#61 G#62 D#63 29I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G#64 D#65 C#66 G#67 C#68 G#69 D#70 30And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time 31 32Outro: G#71
