[Ab]
I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress and [Eb] asked for
money I [Ab] was sad, you asked if, as I laid in a black
dress With my father in a casket, I had no [Eb] plans
[Ab] Yeah, yeah I did The footprints, [Db] the mud stained on [Ab] the carpet
And it all didn't like my heart again when you [Eb] left town
[Ab] But I was a million, and [Db] I would marry you in [Ab] an instant
Yeah, I'm your wife, I'd be your mistress just to [Eb] have you around
But [Ab] I was [Eb] laid for this, [Db] laid for that, laid for [Ab] the love of my life
And when I [Eb] die, I won't [Db] [Fm] die alone, [Db] [Ab] die on me, [Eb] on time
[Ab] And while the church discouraged, [Db] and he left the [Ab] fire within me
Yes, my flesh, it was my currency, but I held [Eb] true
[Ab] And so I'd drive a taxi, [Db] and the traffic [Ab] distracts me
[Db] From the strangers in my [Ab] backseat that remind me
[Eb] That [Ab] I was [Eb] laid for this, [Db] laid for that, laid [Fm] for the [Eb] love of my life
And [Ab] when I die, [Eb] I won't [Db] die [Ab] alone, [Db] [Ab] die on me, [Eb] on time
[Fm] No holy gifts [Ab] from my Lord [Db] were [Ebm] better than I [Fm] could afford
But I've read this script in a costume fest, [Db] so [Ebm] I played my [Ab] part
I was trained in the bat church, [Db] I was drawn to leather [Ab] wrappers
But that's all in the past, love, gone [Eb] with the wind
[Ab] And I would nurse, and watch you, [Db] please bring back to [Ab] my castle
[Db] With a better [Ab] bathroom, and a plate [Ebm] of smoothies
[Eb]
Let [Ab] me lay [Ebm] for this, [Db] laid [Ab] for that, laid for the love of my life
And when I die, [Eb] I [Db] won't die [Ab] alone, [Db] [Fm] die on me, on [Ebm] time
