Chords used: Intro: G Verse: G I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress D When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand G But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress D With my father in a casket, I had no plans Break: G Pre-chorus: G C G And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet D And it hardened like my heart did when you left town G C G But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant D Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around Chorus: G D C G C G D But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G D C G C G D And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time Break: G Pre-chorus II: G C G While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me D Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true G C G So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me C G D From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you Chorus: G D C G C G D But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G D C G C G D And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time Bridge: Em G C D Em And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce G Em C D G But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part Break: G Pre-chorus II: G C G I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters D But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind G C G Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom C G It's a bed and a bathroom D And a place for the end Chorus: G D C G C G D I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G D C G C G D And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time End: D G VERSION 2 (NO capo version) Tuning: standard Capo: NO capo Chords used: Intro: G# Verse: G# I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress D# When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand G# But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress D# With my father in a casket, I had no plans Break: G# Pre-chorus: G# C# G# And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet D# And it hardened like my heart did when you left town G# C# G# But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant D# Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around Chorus: G# D# C# G# C# G# D# But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G# D# C# G# C# G# D# And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time Break: G# Pre-chorus II: G# C# G# While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me D# Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true G# C# G# So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me C# G# D# From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you Chorus: G# D# C# G# C# G# D# But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G# D# C# G# C# G# D# And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time Bridge: Fm G# C# D# Fm And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce G# Fm C# D# G# But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part Break: G# Pre-chorus II: G# C# G# I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters D# But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind G# C# G# Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom C# G# It's a bed and a bathroom D# And a place for the end Chorus: G# D# C# G# C# G# D# I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life G# D# C# G# C# G# D# And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time End: D# G# Note: If you have any corrections or improvements to the tab write them on the comments section, or send me a message, or e-mail, so we can together make this tab even better.
