            DI've (xx0232@1)been a long term disappointment to myself
       Em (022000@1)                        Dm11    
But it hits like ahammer (x02210@1)when I'm that to someone else	
            DAnd (xx0232@1)now the circle doesn't fit it's little square
Em (022000@1)                           Dm11	
It bulges with opportunity ... bulges

(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-----------| (022000@1)|--0----------|

|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

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!!!
