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 Cleopatra: 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# Sleep On The Floor: Intro C F C C F C Verse C Pack yourself a toothbrush dear F C Pack yourself a favorite blouse C Take a withdrawlslip F C Take all of your savings out Am G 'Cause if we don't leave this town F C We might never make it out Am G And I was not born to drown C F C Baby c'mon Verse C Forget what father Brennan said F C We were not born in sin C Leave a note on your bed F C Let your mother know you're safe Am G And by the time she wakes F C We'll 've driven through the state Am G We'll 've driven through the night C Baby c'mon C* -
