Intro:
C C

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

Break:
C C

Pre-chorus:
C C F F C C
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
G G
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
C C F F C C
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
G G
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around

Chorus:
C C G G F F C C F F C C G G
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
C C G G F F C C F F C C G G
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Break:
C C

Pre-chorus II:
C C F F C C
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
G G
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
C C F F C C
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
F F C C G G
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

Chorus:
C C G G F F C C F F C C G G
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
C C G G F F C C F F C C G G
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

Bridge:
Am Am C C F F G G Am Am
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
C C Am Am F F G G C C
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part

Break:
C C

Pre-chorus II:
C C F F C C
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
G G
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
C C F F C C
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
F F C C
It's a bed and a bathroom
G G
And a place for the end

Chorus:
C C G G F F C C F F C C G G
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
C C G G F F C C F F C C G G
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

End:
G G C C
