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
E
But he knew
D
That all was unraveling
E
And he was bare
D E
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?
E
But what do I know
D
Cos all is unravelling
E
And he was bare
D E
Stripped of his skin
D
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
A
Sticking out of a bin
Do do do do do-do

But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
F#m E Bm A Bm A E
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
E
Cos he knew
D
That all was unraveling
E
And he was bare
D
He was stripped of his skin
E
Yeah he knew
D
That all was unraveling
E
And he was bare
D E
He was stripped of his skin
D
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella

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.
