Chords with lyrics
Key: B minorBm
Verse 1:
G+G D MajorD
I’m a prisoner of desire
G+G B minorBm
And I keep my cell neat
G+G D MajorD D#dim7D#dim7 E minorEm
'Cause I'm done taking victims in this self centred life
G+G D MajorD
And I stayed the night
G+G B minorBm
Because I'm not one to retreat
G+G D MajorD D#dim7D#dim7 E minorEm
And I watched you go to sleep as peaceful as a dove
F#7F#7
Peaceful as a dove
[Chorus}
B minorBm A#augA#aug D MajorD G+G
I'll be the wandering cowboy, looking for a home
B minorBm A#augA#aug D MajorD G+G
Babe, I'll be the butterfly in your glass dome
B minorBm A#augA#aug D/AD/A E/G#
'Cause every Mona Lisa needs a velvet rope
Verse 2:
G+G D MajorD
I'm a prisoner of desire
G+G B minorBm
And I know the guilty don't rest their feet
G+G D MajorD
So I practice a shade of sin
D#dim7D#dim7 E minorEm
In between black and white
G+G D MajorD
My merciless memory
G+G B minorBm
Keeps no record of my wrongs
G+G D MajorD D#dim7D#dim7 E minorEm
Like the gilded history, of our old navy's painted hall
F#7F#7
It's not history at all
[Chorus}
B minorBm A#augA#aug D MajorD G+G
I'll be the wandering cowboy, looking for a home
B minorBm A#augA#aug D MajorD G+G
Babe, I'll be the butterfly in your glass dome
B minorBm A#augA#aug D/AD/A E/G#
'Cause every Mona Lisa needs a velvet rope
Bridge:
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E7E7
To keep the dirty hands away
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E7E7
The precious cargo safe
E minorEm A7A7
To keep the vultures from picking at their prey
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E7E7
And the old thief from the door
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E7E7
Out of my mind and off my shoulder
E minorEm A7A7
Because he takes and takes 'til there's no more
Chorus:
B minorBm A#augA#aug D MajorD G+G
I raised El Dorado and I’m still looking for the gold
B minorBm A#augA#aug D MajorD G+G
Babe, I'll be the butterfly in your glass dome
B minorBm A#augA#aug D/AD/A E/G#
'Cause every Mona Lisa needs a velvet rope
