This song was inspired by the death of Bonos close friend, Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS.
I'm not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find A decent melody A song that I can sing In my own company
I never thought you were a fool Riff 2 But darling, look at you Riff 1 You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere baby
You got to get yourself together You've stuck in a moment and now you can't get out if it Don't say that later will be better, now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it In the live version The Edge does something like this: e --0--0--0------------------- B ------------0---------------
I will not forsake The colors that you bring But the night you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted By the light you brought to me I still listen through your ears And through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool Riff 2 To worry like you do Riff 1 I know it's tough And you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now....my oh my
You got to get yourself together You've stuck in a moment And now you can't get out if it Oh love, look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep The water was warm until you discover how deep.... I wasn't jumping....for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all
You got to get yourself together You've stuck in a moment and now you can't get out if it Don't say that later will be better, now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass
This time will pass Riff 1: e -1/4-4----4----4--- --5--5----- B -2/5--5----5----5-- ---5--5---- e --5--5----- B ---5--5----
