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
Em D Am G Am G D
But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
Em D Am G Am 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

Sticking out of a bin

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