Chords
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
I was GCleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my Dsus2hand
But I was Gsad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans Dsus2
Yeah G
[Verse 2]
And I Gleft the footprints, the mud Cstained on the carGpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town Dsus2
But I Gmust admit it, that I would Cmarry you in an inGstant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you a-Dsus2round
[Chorus]
But I was Glate for this,Dsus2 Clate for that,G Clate for the Glove of myDsus2 life
And when I Gdie alone,Dsus2 when IC die aGlone,C die I'll Gbe on time Dsus2
[Ah]
[Bridge]
G
[Verse 3]
While the Gchurch discouraged, any lustC that burned withinG me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true Dsus2
So I Gdrive a taxi, and the Ctraffic distractsG me
From the Cstrangers in my backGseat, they remind me of Dsus2you
[Chorus]
But I was Glate for this,Dsus2 Clate for that,G Clate for the Glove of myDsus2 life
And when I Gdie alone,Dsus2 when IC die aGlone, when IC die I'll Gbe on time Dsus2
[Interlude]
And the onEmly gifts from my LordG were Ca birth and Da diEmvorce
But I've Gread this script and the cosEmtume fits,C so I'll playD my part G
[Verse 4]
I was GCleopatra, I was Ctaller than the rafGters
But that's all in the past now, gone with the Dsus2wind
Now a Gnurse in white shoes leads meC back to my guestGroom
It's a bedC and a bathGroom
And a place for the Dend
[Chorus]
I won't be Glate for this,Dsus2 Clate for that,G Clate for the Glove of myDsus2 life
And when I Gdie alone,Dsus2 when IC die aGlone,C die I'll Gbe on time Dsus2
G
[Ah]
