The Lumineers - Cleopatra

^GI was Cleopatra, I was y^Cadd9oung and an actre^Gss ^GWhen you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my h^Dsus2and ^GBut I was sad you asked it, as I l^Cadd9aid in a black dr^Gess ^GWith my father in a casket, I had no pla^Dsus2ns

^GAnd I left the footprints, the mud s^Cadd9tained on the carp^Get ^GAnd it hardened like my heart did when you left to^Dsus2wn ^GBut I must admit it, that I would mar^Cadd9ry you in an ins^Gtant ^GDamn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you aro^Dsus2und

But I was ^Glate for ^Dthis, ^Clate for ^Gthat, ^Clate for the ^Glove of my ^Dlife And when I ^Gdie ^Dalone, when I ^Cdie ^Galone, when I ^Cdie I'll ^Gbe on ^Dtime

^GWhile the church discouraged, any ^Cadd9lust that burned wit^Ghin me ^GYes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held tr^Dsus2ue ^GSo I drive a taxi, and the tr^Cadd9affic distract^Gs me ^GFrom the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of y^Dsus2ou

But I was ^Glate for ^Dthis, ^Clate for ^Gthat, ^Clate for the ^Glove of my ^Dlife And when I ^Gdie ^Dalone, when I ^Cdie ^Galone, when I ^Cdie I'll ^Gbe on ^Dtime

And the ^Emonly gifts from my ^GLord were a ^Cbirth a^Dnd a d^Emivorce But I've ^Gread this script and the ^Emcostume fits, ^Cso I'll^D play my ^Gpart

^GI was Cleopatra, I was ta^Cadd9ller than the raft^Gers ^GBut that's all in the past now, gone with the w^Dsus2ind ^GNow a nurse in white shoes leads me b^Cadd9ack to my gues^Gtroom ^GIt's a bed and a bathroom and a place for the e^Dsus2nd

I won't be ^Glate for ^Dthis, ^Clate for ^Gthat, ^Clate for the ^Glove of my ^Dlife And when I ^Gdie ^Dalone, when I ^Cdie ^Galone, when I ^Cdie I'll ^Gbe on ^Dtime
