(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)

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.

I've been a long term disappointment to myself

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.
