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'
E
He'd folded it, refolded it so many times,
A
He'd already lost some of her to the creases
Precious pieces
E
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
E
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
B
But he knew
A
That all was unraveling
B
And he was bare
A B
Stripped of his skin
A
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
E
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
E
He'd pull his collar up against the wind,
A
Against those who said that trying was the first step to failing
E
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?
B
But what do I know
A
Cos all is unravelling
B
And he was bare
A B
Stripped of his skin
A
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
E
Sticking out of a bin
Do do do do do-do

But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza

With time's great elixir, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
E
She was only just a girl in a picture,
A
But he thought 'If I could only make her smile,
E
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
B
Cos he knew
A
That all was unraveling
B
And he was bare
A
He was stripped of his skin
B
Yeah he knew
A
That all was unraveling
B
And he was bare
A B
He was stripped of his skin
A
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
E
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.
