The Lumineers - Cleopatra

^GI was Cleopatra, I was ^Cyoung and an ^Gactress ^CWhen you knelt by my ^Gmattress, and asked for my ^Dhand But I was ^Gsad you asked it, as I ^Claid in a ^Gblack dress With my ^Cfather in a ^Gcasket, I had no ^Dplans

And I ^Gleft the footprints, the mud ^Cstained on the ^Gcarpet And it ^Chardened like my ^Gheart did when you left ^Dtown But I ^Gmust admit it, that I would ^Cmarry you in an ^Ginstant Damn your ^Cwife, I'd be your ^Gmistress just to have you ^Daround

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

And the ^Gchurch discouraged, any ^Clust that burned ^Gin me Yes my ^Cflesh, it was my ^Gcurrency, but I held ^Dout When a ^Gman's rejected, but he can ^Cfight for your ^Gaffection And he can ^Cact like he never ^Gmet you and leave low to the ^Dground

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 ^GI'll be on ^Dtime

So I ^Gdrive a taxi, and the ^Ctraffic distr^Gacts me From the ^Cstrangers in my ^Gbackseat, they remind me of ^Dyou But it's ^Gall a daydream, but it's ^Cyou who's ^Gbehind me But you ^Cnever recognize ^Gme, appraising you ^D

And the ^Emonly gifts from my ^GLord were a ^Cbirth ^Dand a ^Emdivorce But I've ^Gread this script and the ^Emcostume fits, ^Cso I'll ^Dplay my ^Gpart

And there are ^Gnights I wake up, to the ^Csound of a ^Gdoor shut And I ^Csearch on the ^Gfloors but I find no ^Dtracks And the ^Gnurse in white shoes leads me ^Cback to my ^Gguestroom It's a ^Cbed and a ^Gbathroom And a place for the ^Dend

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 ^GI'll be on ^Dtime
