[Intro] (x2)

E   E/G#  A   E/G#
B   C#m   A   E


[Verse]

E        E/G#
I'm not afraid
   A                E/G#
Of anything in this world
        B                  C#m
There's nothing you can throw at me
        A                E
That I haven't already heard

E                  E/G#
I'm just trying to find
   A         E/G#
A decent melody
   B              C#m
A song that I can sing
      A        E
In my own company


[Pre-chorus]

Riff 1
C#m                        A
I never thought you were a fool
                       Riff 2
F#                   A
But darling, look at you
Riff 1
C#m                  A                      C#m
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
                      B
These tears are going nowhere baby


[Chorus]

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

[Verse]

E             E/G#
I will not forsake
     A              E/G#
The colors that you bring
         B                    C#m
But the night you filled with fireworks
      A                   E
They left you with nothing

E            E/G#
I am still enchanted
       A                    E/G#
By the light you brought to me
         B                   C#m
I still listen through your ears
       A              E
And through 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   E/G#   A              E/G#
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  E/G#  A           E
Oh love, look at you now
                    Cdim       C#m
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
         A         E
and you can't get out of it


[Pre-chorus]

F#m
I was unconscious, 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 a long way down to nothing at all


[Chorus]

E   E/G#   A              E/G#
You got to get yourself together
        B           C#m               A        E
You've stuck in a moment and now you can't get out if it
E     E/G#     A          E/G#                  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


[The Edge singing]

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


[The Edge And Bono Singing Together]

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


[Ending]


It's just a moment
                E
This time will pass
