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