by U2
Words by Bono and The Edge
Intro: Am G F Em Am G F Em
[Am]Summer stretching [G]on the grass...summer dre[F]sses pass[Em]
[Am]In the shade of a willow[G] tree creeps a cr[F]awling over me[Em]
[Am]Over me and over yo[G]u stuck toget[F]her with God's glue[Em]
[Am]It's going to get stickie[G]r too...
It's been a long[F] hot summer
Let's get underco[G]ver
don't t[F]ry too hard to think... don't think at all[G]
CHORUS:
I'm not the only one.. [C]starin' at the sun[Am]
afraid of what you'd f[D]ind if you took a look inside[F]
not just deaf and dumb I'm sta[C]rin' at the sun[Am]
not the only one who'[D]s happy to go blind[F]
[Am] [G] [F] [Em]
[Am]there's an insect[G] in your ear if you [F]scratch it won't disappear[Em]
it's g[Am]onna itch and burn [G]and sting
do you want [F]to see what the scratching brings[Em]
[Am]waves that leave me out of re[G]ach
[F]breaking on your back like [Em]a beach
[Am]will we ever live[G] in peace
'cau[F]se those that can't do [G]often have to
and t[F]hose that can't do of[G]ten have to preach
(REPEAT CHORUS)
[Am] [D] [Am] [G]
[Am] [D] [Am] [G]
[Am]intransingence is all around...m[Am]ilitary still in town
[Am]armour plated suits and ties..da[Am]ddy just won't say goodbye
[Am]referee won't blow the whistle G[Am]od is good but will He listen
[Am]I'm nearly great but there's something I'm missing
[F]I left in the d[G]uty free
[F]though you never really belonged [G]to me
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Am D Am D Am D......(repeat & fade)
Hope this is good enough, I know that there are some minor
deviations to the chords, but the basics are here.
