Let her pale light in

You've been living underground

Eating from a can

You've been running away

With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!)

She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child chorus x4

Verse 2
Car alarm
Won't wrench him back to sleep(???)
You kept awake
Dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold
But it'll get you through
Compromise
That's nothing new to you
Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been


Play Chorus 2


Verse 3
It's hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Hope the rain will wash away our bad luck
The sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry

You say when he hits you, you don't mind
 F#m                                  E
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
 F#    A              E
Is that what it is?

(Edge plays main riff)
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)
 F#m                              C#m

Stay, and the day would keep its trust
  F#m            A                  E
Stay, and the night would be enough


(Edge plays main riff)
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin


(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout I'll only hear you

	     F#m                                  E
If I could stay... then the night would give you up

Stay, and the day would keep its trust

Stay with the demons you drowned
 A              B
Stay with the spirit I found
 F#m            A            E
Stay and the night would be enough


(Bono stops, Edge plays main riff)
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground

You've stuck in a moment and now you can't get out if it
E                A              E                B             C#m
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
         A                E
And you can't get out of it

Verse:

E             (E)
I will no forsake
     A                 E
The colors that you bring
         B                          C#m
But the night you filled with fireworks
      A                   E
They left you with nothing

E             (E)
I am still enchanted

By the light you brought to me
         B                   C#m
I still listen throught you ears
       A               E
And throught your eyes I can see

Pre-Chorus:

Riff 1
C#m                  A
And you are such a fool
                  Riff 2
F#                A
To worry like you do
Riff 1              
C#m             A                          
I know it's tough
                        C#m
And you can never get enough
                          B
Of what you don't really need now....my oh my

Chorus:

E           A                  E
You got to get yourself together
        B           C#m 
You've stuck in a moment
             A         E
And now you can't get out if it
E         A             E
Oh love, look at your now 
            G#                 C#m
You have yourself stuck in a moment        
         A         E
and you can't get out of it

Pre-Chorus:

F#m
I was inconscious, half asleep
     A                                     E
The water was warm until you discover how deep....
F#m
I wasn't jumping....for me it was a fall
      A                           D   B
It's long way down to nothing at all

Chorus:

E           A                  E
You got to get yourself together
        B           C#m 
You've stuck in a moment
             A         E
And now you can't get out if it
E         A             E
Oh love, look at your now 
            G#                 C#m
You have yourself stuck in a moment        
         A         E
and you can't get out of it

The Edge Singing:

E            A         E
 And if the night runs over
B    C#m     A         E
 And if the day won't last
E            A         E
 And if our way should falter
B    C#m     A     E
 Along the stony pass

The Edge And Bono Singing Together:

E            A         E
 And if the night runs over
B    C#m     A         E
 And if the day won't last
E            A         E
 And if our way should falter
B    C#m     A     E
 Along the stony pass

End:
              E
It's just a moment
      A         E 
This time will pass

Until the end of the world

Haven't seen you in quite a while
Bm                  D

I was down the hold, just passing time
     Em            

Last time we met was a low-lit room
Bm                     D

We were as close together as bride and groom
           Em      

We ate the food, we drank the wine
D9                  A9

Everybody having a good time
Em                      D/G

Except you
            D9

You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money, I spiked your drink
Bm                D    

You miss too much these days if you stop to think
    Em  

You led me on with those innocent eyes
Bm                       D

You know I love the element of surprise
    Em

In the garden I was playing the tart
D9                  A9

I kissed your lips and broke your heart
  Em                   D/G

You, you were acting like it was the end of the world

But my sorrows they learned to swim

Surrounding me, going down on me
Bm              D

Spilling over the brim
Em 

Waves of regret, waves of joy
D9               A9

I reached out for the one I tried to destroy

The hands that built America 
intro: F#m  -  E    -  D   
	
F#m	     E               D       (+tabbed part)
Oh my love, it's a long way we've come 
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons 

Am                          G                   D (+ tabbed part)
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky 
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye 

F#m             E                D  (+ tabbed part)
These are the hands that built America 
Oh, oh oh, America 
 
F#m             E              D    (+ tabbed part)
Last saw your face in a watercolour sky 
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye 

Am		            G			D
I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star 
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard 

F#m		    E		     D	
And these are the hands, that built America 
Ah, ah ah, America
 
Am			G			D
Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep 
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach 

Halle, ole 
(this part of tenor voice, i donīt have how is it) 

F#m			E			D
It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline 
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line 


F#m		E		D (+tabbed part)
These are the hands that built America 
These are the hands that built America 
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America 
Oh-la-la-ah-ah America
