D
She was only just a girl in a picture
G
But he thought 'If I can only make her smile
Then she'd be mine'
D
He'd folded it, refolded it so many times,
G
He'd already lost some of her to the creases
Precious pieces
D
He wondered how close he'd ever been to her,
G
In this ebb and flow of the distance between us
Maybe she got the same bus
D
And he left a trail of string wherever he went
G
When he was sleeping, he tied it to his toe
If she crossed it then he'd know
A
But he knew
G
That all was unraveling
A
And he was bare
G A
Stripped of his skin
G
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
D
Sticking out of a bin
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
G
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
D
He'd pull his collar up against the wind,
G
Against those who said that trying was the first step to failing
D
Oh he was railing
And filled with new found purpose and pride,
G
He'd make something of this heady glow
Now where would she go?
A
But what do I know
G
Cos all is unravelling
A
And he was bare
G A
Stripped of his skin
G
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
D
Sticking out of a bin
Do do do do do-do
Bm A Em D Em D A
But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
Bm A Em D Em D A
With time's great elixir, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
D
She was only just a girl in a picture,
G
But he thought 'If I could only make her smile,
D
Then she'd be mine'
Oh the thought of being faced with her
G
Gave him the fear and sometimes in the morning a tent
Oh lord give him strength
A
Cos he knew
G
That all was unraveling
A
And he was bare
G
He was stripped of his skin
A
Yeah he knew
G
That all was unraveling
A
And he was bare
G A
He was stripped of his skin
G
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
D
Sticking out of a bin
G
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
Do do do do d-do do do do do do-do.
