She was only just a girl in a picture
A#
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,
A#
He'd already lost some of her to the creases
Precious pieces
F
He wondered how close he'd ever been to her,
A#
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
A#
When he was sleeping, he tied it to his toe
If she crossed it then he'd know
C
But he knew
A#
That all was unraveling
C
And he was bare
A# C
Stripped of his skin
A#
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
A#
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
F
He'd pull his collar up against the wind,
A#
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,
A#
He'd make something of this heady glow
Now where would she go?
C
But what do I know
A#
Cos all is unravelling
C
And he was bare
A# C
Stripped of his skin

Like the ribs of a broken umbrella

Sticking out of a bin
Do do do do do-do

But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
Dm C Gm F Gm F C
With time's great elixir, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
F
She was only just a girl in a picture,
A#
But he thought 'If I could only make her smile,
F
Then she'd be mine'
Oh the thought of being faced with her
A#
Gave him the fear and sometimes in the morning a tent
Oh lord give him strength
C
Cos he knew
A#
That all was unraveling
C
And he was bare
A#
He was stripped of his skin
C
Yeah he knew
