This song is in standard tuning with a capo on the 2nd fret.
(Intro)
[Em] [Dm11] [C]
(Verse 1)
[Em]Is that a smile that [Dm11]hangs beneath your [C]nose[C]
[Em]Or are your lips just stuck [Dm11]to your teeth [C]and they're too [C]fixed to close
You don't [Em]have to ham it [Dm11]up for me or [C]tell me how long [C]you've
[Em]Waited just to [Dm11]be with me[C]
(Chorus)
I've been a [D]long term disappointment to myself
But it [Em]hits like a hammer when I'm [Dm11]that to someone else
And now the [D]circle doesn't fit it's little square
[Em]It bulges with opportunity ... [Dm11]bulges
(Verse 2)
[Em]Is that a smile that [Dm11]hangs beneath your [C]nose [C]
Or are your [Em]eyes so wide they've[Dm11] pulled your mouth [C]into a stupid [C]pose
You don't [Em]have to ham it [Dm11]up for me or [C]tell me how long [C]you've
[Em]Waited just to [Dm11]be with me[C]
(Chorus)
I've been [D]a long term disappointment to myself
But it [Em]hits like a hammer when I'm [Dm11]that to someone else
And now the [D]circle doesn't fit it's little square
[Em]It bulges with opportunity ... [Dm11]bulges
(Bridge)
I don't know what these chords are called so bear with me.
F' C' Bb'
(Chorus)
I've been a [D]long term disappointment to myself
But it [Em]hits like a hammer when I'm [Dm11]that to someone else
And now the [D]circle doesn't fit it's little square
[Em]It bulges with opportunity ... [Dm11]bulges
(Chorus)
I've been a [D]long term disappointment to myself
But it [Em]hits like a hammer when I'm [Dm11]that to someone else
And now the [D]circle doesn't fit it's little square
[Em]It bulges with opportunity ... [Dm11]bulges
(Outro)
(Lead Guitar)
While the rhythm guitar plays the chords the lead guitar does little riffs.
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]
(Lead guitar in the chorus while rhythm guitar is playing the D)
(Lead guitar in the chorus while rhythm guitar is playing the Em and Dm11)
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!!!
