Staring At The Sun U2
Am G F Em
Summer stretching on the grass, summer dresses pass
Am G F Em
In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me
Am G F Em
Over me and over you, stuck together with GOD's glue
Am G
It's going to get stickier, too
F G
It's been a long hot summer, let's get undercover
F G
Don't try too hard to think, don't think at all
C Am
I'm not the only one staring at the sun
D Dsus4 F
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
C Am
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
D Dsus4 F
I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind
Am G
There's an insect in your ear
F Em
If you scratch it won't disappear
Am G
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
F Em
Do you want to see what the scratching brings?
Am G
Waves that leave me out of reach
F Em
Breaking on your back like a beach
Am G
Will we ever live in peace?
F G
Cause those that can't do often have to
F G
And those that can't do often have to
C Am
Preach to the ones staring at the sun
D Dsus4 F
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
C Am
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
D Dsus4 F
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind
bridge:Am Dsus2 Am G
Intransigence is all around, military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
GOD is good, but will He listen?
I'm nearly great, but there's something missing
F G
I left in the duty free though
F G
You never really belonged to me
C Am
You're not the only one staring at the sun
D Dsus4 F
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
C Am
I'm not sucking my thumb, I'm staring at the sun
D Dsus4 F
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
