[verse 1]
                               D
I've always played the part of Shakespeare
                          G
I hide behind the ink and pen
I build up worlds and choose a
D
savior
                            G
I write beginning, middle, end

[pre-chorus]
        D
I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf
Tired of stories for somebody else
  G
Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter
           D
I've been looking for some way to
turn it around
Looking for someone to give me the crown
     G
And I wanna feel like I finally matter

[chorus]
                  D        G
I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah
                              D
The kinda girl that you can dream of,
   G
ah-ah
      Em
And I always had the words
            Bm
but I don't wanna say it
      Em                          A
Wish I could paint a smile on my face
                  D
I wanna be a Mona Lisa

[verse 2]
                     D
So is there anybody out there
                              G
Who could change my point of view?
               D
The way that Van Gogh uses yellow
Or the self in Frida Kahlo
G
I could be that for you

[pre-chorus]
        D
I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf
Tired of stories for somebody else
 G
Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter
            D
I've been looking for some way to
turn it around
Looking for someone to give me the crown
G
I wanna feel like I finally matter

[chorus]
                   D       G
I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah,
                              D
The kinda girl that you can dream of,
   G
ah-ah (The kinda that you can dream of maybe)
       Em
And I always had the words
            Bm
but I don't wanna say it
       Em                         A
Wish I could paint a smile on my face
                  Em  G
I wanna be a Mona Lisa

[bridge]
Bm                       A
I think I'm ready for my close-up, baby
Em
There's nothing left to do
G
And nothing left to lose
Gdim
Let me be your muse
D  G
Ah-ah (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby)
D  G
Ah-ah (The kind of girl that you can dream of)

[outro]
       G
And I always had the words
              Bm
but I don't wanna say it
     G                             A
Wish I could paint a smile on my face
                  D        G
I wanna be a Mona Lisa (Ah-ah)
