Cleopatra
The Lumineers
Key : Ab
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
      G#
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
                                                D#sus2
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#sus2
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
    G#
Yeah

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      G#                           C#                G#
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
                                                    D#sus2
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#sus2
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you a-round

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
          G#            D#sus2 C#            G# C#           G#        D#sus2
But I was late for this,      late for that,  late for the love of my     life
           G#        D#sus2     C#    G#   C#        G#        D#sus2
And when I die alone,     when I die alone, die I'll be on time
Ah

[Bridge]
---------------------
G#

[Verse 3]
---------------------
          G#                          C#                 G#
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
                                                 D#sus2
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#sus2
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you  

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
          G#            D#sus2 C#            G# C#           G#        D#sus2
But I was late for this,      late for that,  late for the love of my     life
           G#        D#sus2     C#    G#          C#        G#        D#sus2
And when I die alone,     when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Interlude]
---------------------
          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

[Verse 4]
---------------------
      G#               C#                 G#
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
                                              D#sus2
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 (3)]
---------------------
           G#            D#sus2 C#            G# C#           G#        D#sus2
I won't be late for this,      late for that,  late for the love of my     life
           G#        D#sus2     C#    G#   C#        G#        D#sus2
And when I die alone,     when I die alone, die I'll be on time
  G#
Ah
