[chorus]
Feel like I’m [F#m]talking to a [D]teenage Mona [A]Lisa, so [F#m]beautiful yet [D]so unsatisfied [A]
And when I [F#m]take a trip to [D]Paris out to meet [A]her, if she [F#m]don’t care, at [D]least I’ll know I [A]tried

[Opening]
[F#m]Think I’m getting [D]tired of these [A]games now, least the [C#m]way that they [F#m]played out
When your [D]mind is on [A]the wrong [C#m]side

[verse 2]
[F#m]When I’m all alone [D]with my thoughts [A]now, and they [C#m]got all these [F#m]walls out
I [D]will start to [A]realize, that [C#m]I don’t really [D]love you, do you think that I [Bm]know you [E]

[Closing]
[F#m]Standing at the [D]top of a [A]mountain, and you don’t hear me [F#m]shouting
And I’ve [D]called around a thousand [A]times, [F#m] [D]sighing and you don’t even [A]listen
Was it [C#m]you that I’m [F#m]missing, maybe [D]I don’t wanna [A]realize
That [C#m]I don’t really [D]love you, do you think that I [Bm]know you [E]
