[Verse 1]
E
He set out with a backpack
B
A compass in hand
E
To steal Mona Lisa
B F#
And that was his plan
E
A modern day outlaw
B
He'll take what he can
E
And vanish before you
B F#
Like tracks in the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
E G#m
His pockets were full but his heart was so heavy
E G#m D#m
And all these material things can be deadly if
E F# B G#m F#
No one is there who will share when you're seventy-one
[Chorus]
E B C#m B
If only someone
E B C#m B
Filled the spaces
G#m F# E B F#
He might settle down
[Verse 2]
E
He met her on Tuesday
B
On his way back from France
E
He rolled up the painting
B F#
He stole with his hands
E
And even Da Vinci
G#m
Couldn't have sketched
E
A more perfect woman
B F#
Than the one that he met
[Pre-Chorus]
E F# G#m
His pockets were full but his heart was so heavy
E F# G#m D#m
And all these material things can be deadly if
E F# B G#m F#
No one is there who will share when you're seventy-one
[Chorus]
E B C#m B
If only someone
E B C#m B
Filled the spaces
G#m F# E B F#
He might settle down
[Bridge]
E
Settle down,
G#m F#
settle down,
E
settle down,
G#m F#
settle down
[Verse 3]
E
He woke up in the morning
B
With nothing around
E
She left with the portrait
B F#
No trace of her found
E
She was the outlaw
G#m
She was the one
E
She took the bounty
B F#
And left him with none
[Pre-Chorus]
E G#m B
His pockets aren't full and his heart is still empty
E G#m D#m
And falling in love, it can be just as deadly
E F#m B G#m F#
And no one is there who will care when he's seventy-one
[Chorus]
B C#m B
If only someone
E C#m B
Filled the spaces
G#m F# E B F#
He might settle down
