[Intro]
 
Am F Dm E
Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am
She paints her fingers with a close precision
Am
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
Am
And takes a moment to assess the sin
Am                E7
She's paid for
Am
A lonely speaker in a conversation
F
Her words are spinning through his ears again
Dm                                E                    Am       G
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
F              C
  Say what you mean
            E
Tell me I'm right
            Am        G        F
And let the sun reign down on me
          C
Give me a sign
            E7
I want to believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Woah, Mona Lisa,
Am                   G
You're guaranteed to run this town
F               C
Woah, Mona Lisa,
                   E7
I'd pay to see you frown
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am E
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
He senses something, call it desperation
F
Another dollar, another day
Dm                        E
And if she had the proper words to say,
             Am
She would tell him, but she'd have nothing left to sell him
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
F              C
  Say what you mean
            E
Tell me I'm right
            Am        G        F
And let the sun reign down on me
          C
Give me a sign
            E7
I want to believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Woah, Mona Lisa,
Am                   G
You're guaranteed to run this town
F               C
Woah, Mona Lisa,
                   E7
I'd pay to see you frown
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am   F     C       E   Am
Mona Lisa, wear me out
           F         C   E
Pleased to please ya
Am   F     C       E   Am
Mona Lisa, wear me out
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
F              C
  Say what you mean
            E
Tell me I'm right
            Am        G        F
And let the sun reign down on me
          C
Give me a sign
            E
I want to believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F
Woah, Mona Lisa,
Am                   G
You're guaranteed to run this town
F               C
Woah, Mona Lisa,
                   E7
I'd pay to see you frown
 
 
[Outro]
 
F
  Say what you mean
            Am
Tell me I'm right
            G                  F
And let the sun reign down on me
                            C   E   Am     F/A*
Give me a sign, I want to believe
Dm*                                 E*                   Am
  There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for
