So love is hard, and love is tough

But love is not what you're thinking of

September, streets capsizing, spilling over down the drain
Shards of glass splinters like rain
But you could only feel your pain
October, talking getting nowhere
November, December, remember
Are we just starting again?

So love is bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of

You know I've found it hard to receive
Cause you, my love, I could never believe
U2 * (PLEASE) (acoustic)
******************************************************
Transcribed by Dante (Dante@Cyberus.ca)
******************************************************
This is an acoustic interpretation of the song (Please), for people who
play U2 songs on their acoustic guitars at campfires or at home in front
of the tv during commercials, like I do. Thus, much of this is based on
just getting the feel of the song down, so you can concentrate on
singing. Electric versions of the songs are fine, if you have a band....
I, on the other hand, don't have a band and just care about the three
chords and the truth...
This is a great song from a great album... from the greatest band
in this really great universe....

(Tune 1/2 step down)
 BmAABm
 So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
 BmAABm
 And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face 
 BmAABm
 So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away
 Bm
 You had to win, you couldn't just pass
 AEm
 The smartest ass at the top of the class
 Bm
 Your flying colours, your family tree
 A
 And all your lessons in history

Please

 get up off your knees
Please, please, please, leave me out of this

And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Till they made you crawl
So you never knew that that the heaven you keep you stole
Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos, now they're making news
Your holy war, your northern star
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car
Please, please, please get up off your knees
Please, please, please leave me out of this please
 BmAABm
So love is hard, and love is tough
 BmAEmBm
But love is not what you're thinking of
(Okay, so it's not easy to simulate something
to go with this funky little bridge that the
Edge squawks away in... you're on
your own here, but I suggest just
continuing the basic chords and
playing a few light blues fills here and
there to your liking... )

Please, please, please get up off of your knees

So love is bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of
It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
Cause you, my love, I could never believe
