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

But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
G#m F# C#m B C#m B F#
With time's great elixir, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
B
She was only just a girl in a picture,
E
But he thought 'If I could only make her smile,
B
Then she'd be mine'
Oh the thought of being faced with her
E
Gave him the fear and sometimes in the morning a tent
Oh lord give him strength
F#
Cos he knew
E
That all was unraveling
F#
And he was bare
E
He was stripped of his skin
F#
Yeah he knew
E
That all was unraveling
F#
And he was bare
E F#
He was stripped of his skin
E
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella

Do do do do d-do do do do do do-do.
