Chords

[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            F#              G#m       D#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
[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       D#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             F#              G#m            D#m
His pockets aren't full and his heart is still empty

    E            F#           G#m        D#m
And falling in love, it can be just as deadly

    E         F#            B              G#m     F#
And no one is there who will care when he's 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
[Outro]
       E
Settle down
