G
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actressWhen you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my
D
handBut I was
G
sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dressWith my father in a casket, I had no
D
plansG
G
And I left the footprints, the mud C
stained on the G
carpetAnd it hardened like my heart did when you left
D
townBut I
G
must admit it, that I would C
marry you in an G
instantDamn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you
D
aroundBut I was
G
late for D
this, C
late for G
that, C
late for the Gm
love of my D
lifeAnd when I
G
die D
alone, when I C
die G
alone, when I C
die I'll G
be on D
timeWhile the
G
church discouraged, any C
lust that burned within G
meYes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held
D
trueSo I
G
drive a taxi, and the C
traffic G
distracts meFrom the
C
strangers in my G
backseat, they remind me D
of youBut I was
G
late for D
this, C
late for G
that, C
late for the Gm
love of my D
lifeAnd when I
G
die D
alone, when I C
die G
alone, when I C
die I'll G
be on D
timeAnd the
Em
only gifts from my G
Lord were a C
birth aD
nd Am
dEm
ivorceBut I've r
G
ead this script and the Em
costume fits,C
so I'll D
play my G
partI was
G
Cleopatra, I was C
taller than the G
raftersBut that's all in the past now, gone with the
D
windNow a
G
nurse in white shoes C
leads me back to my G
guestroomIt's a
C
bed and a G
bathroomand a place for the
D
endI won't be l
G
ate for thD
is, laC
te for thG
at, laC
te for the loGm
ve of my liD
feAnd when I
G
die D
alone, when I C
die G
alone, when I C
die I'll G
be on D
timeD
