Am
She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
                                                   E
And takes a moment to assess the sin she's paid for

Am
A lonely speaker in a conversation
F
Her words are swimming through his ears again
Dm                               E
There's nothing wrong with just taste
             Am     G
of what you paid for

F             C               E
Say what you mean tell me im right
             Am       G
and let the sun rain down on me
F          C
give me a sign
           E
I wanna believe

Chorus:
F             Am                      G
Whoa Mona Lisa, you're guaranteed to run this town
F             C                     E
Whoa Mona Lisa I'd pay to see you frown

He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say,
she would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

Chorus

    Am   F     C       E
Oh Mona Lisa, wear me out
I'm pleased to please ya
Mona Lisa, wear me out

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

Chorus

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

There's nothing wrong with just
a taste of what you paid for
