Intro: C5   F5

C5
She was only just a girl in a picture
                                       F5
But he thought 'If I can only make her smile

Then she'd be mine'
C5
He'd folded it, refolded it so many times,
                                     F5
He'd already lost some of her to the creases

Precious pieces
C5
He wondered how close he'd ever been to her,
                                       F5
In this ebb and flow of the distance between us

Maybe she got the same bus
C5
And he left a trail of string wherever he went
                                       F5
When he was sleeping, he tied it to his toe

If she crossed it then he'd know


       G5
But he knew
               F5
That all was unravelling
            G5
And he was bare
               F5                G5
Stripped of his skin
                               F5
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
                   C5
Sticking out of a bin

Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do
F5
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do


   C5
He'd pull his collar up against the wind,
                                                         F5
Against those who said that trying was the first step to failing
                                C5
Oh he was railing

And filled with new found purpose and pride,
                                   F5
He'd make something of this heady glow

Now where would she go?


              G5
But what do I know
             F5
Cos all is unravelling
           G5
And he was bare
               F5             G5
Stripped of his skin
                               F5
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
                   C5
Sticking out of a bin
                 A5
Do do do do do-do


        G5          D5           C5 D5       G5      A5
But he knew how to fix it, Dear Liza, Dear Liza
        G5          D5           C5 D5       G5
With time's great elixir, Dear Liza, Dear Liza


C5
She was only just a girl in a picture,
                                         F5
But he thought 'If I could only make her smile,
                               C5
Then she'd be mine'

Oh the thought of being faced with her
                                                 F5
Gave him the fear and sometimes in the morning a tent

Oh lord give him strength


        G5
Cos he knew
               F5
That all was unravelling
            G5
And he was bare
                      F5
He was stripped of his skin
         G5
Yeah he knew
               F5
That all was unravelling
            G5
And he was bare
                      F5                G5
He was stripped of his skin
                               F5
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella
                   C5
Sticking out of a bin
                                F5
Do do do do do-do do do do do do-do

Do do do do d-do do do do do do-do.
                   C5
