  VERSION 1  

Intro :
A

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

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

Chorus :
           Db5       A     D      A    D         A           E
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
           Db5    A          D   A    D         A          E  
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

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

Chorus :
           Db5       A     D      A    D         A           E
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
           Db5    A          D   A    D         A          E
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

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

Verse 4}

A                      D                  A
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
                                                E
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
A                                   D            A
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
        D           A  
It's a bed and a bathroom
                     E  
and a place for the end

Chorus :
           Db5       A     D      A    D         A           E
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
           Db5    A          D   A    D         A          E
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
