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