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