Verse I: 
 
E 
Now there are men who make history, there are men who change the world,  
 
                      A 
And there are men like me, who simply find the right girl 
 
           E 
And in that very moment, it all becomes clear 
 
         A 
What I'm meant to do, the reason I'm here

Now every night I thank The Lord I found you,

And every time I put my arms around you

I feel like the frame that gets to hold the Mona Lisa 
 
                  E               F#m   A    E 
And I don't care if that's all I ever do 
 
 
Verse II: 
 
E 
It never fails, we walk on a room,  
 
     A 
Nobody sees me, they're all lookin' at you 
 
E 
I disappear, but that's fine with me 
 
  A 
I feel the same way, you're all I can see 
 
        F#m 
Now they've written books about Da Vinci's muse  
 
A 
I know it wasn't but it should've been you 
 
 
 
 
              E                A                           F#m 
'Cause I feel like the frame that gets to hold the Mona Lisa 
 
                  E                F#m A     E 
And I don't care if that's all I ever do 
 
 
Repeat Chorus x2 
 
 
Verse III: 
 
                       E 
Why don't we run off in Paris while we're still young 
 
                 A 
We could drink a little wine, have a little fun  
 
           E 
I could tell you I love you in a foreign tongue,  
 
                A 
We could work on our French in more ways than one 
 
           F#m 
I could take your hand, we could walk through the Louvre 
 
            A 
I could show 'em real beauty, let 'me get a load of you 
 
 
 
              E                 A                           F#m                A 
'Cause I feel like the frame that gets to hold the Mona Lisa  
 
                  E                F#m A      E 
And I don't care if that's all I ever do  
 
 
Repeat Chorus
