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