[Verse]
E (E)
I'm not afraid
A E
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)
I'm just trying to find
A E
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 A E
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 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 not 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
A E
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 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 you 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 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 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 you 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
[Ending]
E
It's just a moment
A E
This time will pass
