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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

End:
G C
