| Lyrics by Bono and The Edge |
| Transcribed by Brandon Leniart |
| This song is tuned 1/2 step down and also changes keys a few times. |
| Another one of my personal theories is that Bono is singing this song to |
| himself, and he's trying to deal with his success. Just a thought. |
| this is actually what the riff sounds like: |
1----------------------<5>--
2---<5>---------------------
3-------------<3>-----------
4---------------------------
5---------------------------
6---------------------------
| But since I know that riff is really tough to pull off, I've arranged an |
| easier version to play (which is probably what Edge uses with an |
| octaver and/or an effect that automatically produces harmonics): |
1----------10-----12--
2---12----------------
3---------------------
4---------------------
5---------------------
6---------------------

5---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
6---<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-<12>-
| You get to feel so guilty, got so much for so little |
| Then you find that feeling just won't go away |
| You're holding on to every little thing so tightly |
| Till there's nothing left for you anyway |

| | Em |
| I'll be up with the | sun |
| | Em |
| | You wanted to get somewhere so badly |
| You had to lose yourself along the way |
| You change a name, but that's OK, it's necessary |
| And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway |
| | G | Em |
| | Goodbye, you can keep this | suit of lights |
| | Em | D | Em |
| I'll be up with the | sun-- | I'm not coming | down |
| | D | Em | D | E |
| | I'm not coming | down, | I'm not coming | down |
| Bridge (use these chords): |
| | Bm | 1---7-- | 2---7-- | 3---7-- | 4---9-- | 5---9-- | 6---7-- | Em |
| | | | | | | | 1--- | 0 |
| | Am | 1---5- | 2---5- | 3---5- | 4---7- | 5---7- | 6---5- | Bm | Em |
| | | | | | | | And I'm | already | gone |
| | Bm | Am |
| Felt that | way all | along |
| | D | G | D | G |
| | Closer to you | everyday, | didn't want it that much | anyway |
| | Em |
| | You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy |
| Then you get to like the way it feels |
| You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover |
| Then you discover what you thought was freedom was just greed |
| | G | Em |
| | Goodbye, no emotional | goodnight |
| | Em |
| We'll be up with the | sun |
| | D | Em |
| | Are you still holding | on? |
