Mona Lisa lost her smile

The painter's hands are trembling now

Verse I:
N/C Bm
And the eyes that used to burn for me

Now they no longer look my way

And the love that used to be

Why, it just got lost in yesterday

And if she seems cold to the touch

Well there used to burn a flame

I gave too little, took too much

'Til I erased the painter's name
