Chorus:
N/C Bm
Mona Lisa lost her smile
E A E A
The painter's hands are trembling now
Bm
And if she's out there running wild
E A D E A
It's just because I taught her how
Bm
The masterpiece that we had planned
E A E A
Is laying shattered on the ground
Bm
Mona Lisa lost her smile
E A D E A
And the painter's hands are trembling now
Verse I:
N/C Bm
And the eyes that used to burn for me
E A
Now they no longer look my way
Bm
And the love that used to be
B7 E
Why, it just got lost in yesterday
N/C A Bm
And if she seems cold to the touch
E A
Well there used to burn a flame
Bm
I gave too little, took too much
B7 E
'Til I erased the painter's name
