 This is how I play this song. It's very basic but sounds okay. The middle eight is
slightly wrong (the Dm part) but it works okay. PM me with any improvements if you want. 
song this, Bell X1 did it again with another fine album of fantastic songs. Enjoy. 
Thanks to Kelsey for the help ;-)


Intro: C   F

CShe (x32010@1)was only just a girl in a picture
                                       FBut (133211@1)he thought 'If I can only make her smile

Then she'd be mine'
CHe'd (x32010@1)folded it, refolded it so many times,
                                     FHe'd (133211@1)already lost some of her to the creases

Precious pieces
CHe (x32010@1)wondered how close he'd ever been to her,
                                       FIn (133211@1)this ebb and flow of the distance between us

Maybe she got the same bus
CAnd (x32010@1)he left a trail of string wherever he went
                                       FWhen (133211@1)he was sleeping, he tied it to his toe

If she crossed it then he'd know


       GBut (320003@1)he knew
               FThat (133211@1)all was unravelling
            GAnd (320003@1)he was bare
               F (133211@1)              GStripped (320003@1)of his skin
                               FLike (133211@1)the ribs of a broken umbrella
                   CSticking (x32010@1)out of a bin

Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
FDo (133211@1)do do do do-do do do do do do-do

   CHe'd (x32010@1)pull his collar up against the wind,
                                                         FAgainst (133211@1)those who said that trying was the first step to failing
                                COh (x32010@1)he was railing

And filled with new found purpose and pride,
                                   FHe'd (133211@1)make something of this heady glow

Now where would she go?

              GBut (320003@1)what do I know
             FCos (133211@1)all is unravelling
           GAnd (320003@1)he was bare
               F (133211@1)           GStripped (320003@1)of his skin
                               FLike (133211@1)the ribs of a broken umbrella

Oh the thought of being faced with her
