(Intro)
 Em    Dm11    C    
 -0-   -0-    -0-    E|-3-0-------------|
 -0-   -3-    -1-    B|-----3-0---------|   
 -0-   -0-    -0-    G|---------3-0-2-0-|

(Verse 1)
Em                   Dm11               C       C
Is that a smile that hangs beneath your nose
Em                          Dm11          C               C
Or are your lips just stuck to your teeth and they're too fixed to close
          Em             Dm11         C                C
You don't have to ham it up for me or tell me how long you've
Em             Dm11      C	
Waited just to be with me

(Chorus)
|-0---2---2---0-0-|---2-2---2---0-0-|-0---2---2---0-0-|-2---2---2---0-0-|
|-3---3---3---3-3-|---3-3---3---3-3-|-3---3---3---3-3-|-3---3---3---3-3-|

            D
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
       Em                          Dm11    
But it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else	
            D
And now the circle doesn't fit it's little square
Em                             Dm11	
It bulges with opportunity ... bulges

(Verse 2)
Em                   Dm11               C     C
Is that a smile that hangs beneath your nose	
            Em                  Dm11               C             C       
Or are your eyes so wide they've pulled your mouth into a stupid pose	
          Em             Dm11         C                C
You don't have to ham it up for me or tell me how long you've 	
Em             Dm11      C
Waited just to be with me

(Chorus)
          D
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
       Em                          Dm11    
But it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else	
            D
And now the circle doesn't fit it's little square
Em                             Dm11	
It bulges with opportunity ... bulges

(Bridge)
I don't know what these chords are called so bear with me.

F??    C??    Bb??
-0-    -0-    -0-
-10-   -10-   -8-
-0-    -0-    -0-
-9-    -0-    -0-
-10-   -9-    -7-
-x-    -10-   -8-

(Chorus)
            D
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
       Em                          Dm11    
But it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else	
            D
And now the circle doesn't fit it's little square
Em                             Dm11	
It bulges with opportunity ... bulges

(Chorus)
            D
I've been a long term disappointment to myself
       Em                          Dm11    
But it hits like a hammer when I'm that to someone else	
            D
And now the circle doesn't fit it's little square
Em                             Dm11	
It bulges with opportunity ... bulges

(Outro)

|-0---2---2---0-0-|---2-2---2---0-0-|-0---2---2---0-0-|-2---2---2---0-0-|
|-3---3---3---3-3-|---3-3---3---3-3-|-3---3---3---3-3-|-3---3---3---3-3-|
|-2---2---2---2-2-|---2-2---2---2-2-|-0---0---0---0-0-|-0---0---0---2-2-|
|-0---0---0---0-0-|---0-0---0---0-0-|-2---2---2---2-2-|-2---2---2---0-0-|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|


(Lead Guitar)
E|-3----------2-------------|
B|-3----------3----------3--|
G|-0----------0----------0--|  
D|-2----------2----------2--|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

While the rhythm guitar plays the chords the lead guitar does little riffs.


|-3-0-------------|----0----2-0-----|------0----------|-3-0-------------|
|-----3-0---------|-----------------|-----------------|-----3-0---------|
|---------3-0-2-0-|-----------------|-----------------|---------3-0-2-0-|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

That is played in the verse when there is no singing.

When there is singing the lead guitar strums an Em with an up-stroke everytime the
rhythm guitar comes round to an Em.

Em
|-0-----------|
|--0----------|
|---0---------|
|----2--------|
|-----2-------|
|------0------|

(Lead guitar in the chorus while rhythm guitar is playing the D)
|----0-2-2-0-0----|----0-2-2-2-0----|----0-2-2-0-0----|----0-2-2-2-0----|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

(Lead guitar in the chorus while rhythm guitar is playing the Em and Dm11)
|----3-5-5-3-3----|----3-5-5-5-3----|----3-5-5-3-3----|----3-5-5-5-3----|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

This is how I think it goes anyway...

This is the acoustic version of the song NOT the studio version. So please don't
leave me loads of comments saying I'm wrong!!!
