Takes a man to pretend he was there

So then we grew a little

And knew a lot

And now we demonstrated it to the cops
Cadd9
And all the things we said
G
We were self assured

Cause it's a long road to wisdom

But it's a short one to being ignored

it takes a woman to make him compromise

Or will you rail against your dying day
VERSE
C F C
And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky

INTRO

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
