chords by: Jacob Mattison, jacob@cs.swarthmore.edu
[D] And so she woke up, woke up from [G]where she was lying still, said I
[D]got to do something about where we're [G]going.
[D]Step on a steam train, [G] step out of the driving rain, maybe
[D] run from the darkness in the ni[G]ght, singing
[A]ah, ah la la [C]la de [G]day
[A] ah la la [C]la de [G]day, ah la l[D]a de day[G]
Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
from the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singing
ah, ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
o[G]ooh, oo[D]oh, oo[G]oh
[D] She runs through the street with her eyes painted red
[G] under black belly of cloud in the rain
[D] in through the doorway she brings me
[G]white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is r[D]aging
she is raging, and the [G]storm blows up in her eyes, she will
[A] suffer the ne[C]edle [G]chill
[A] she's running to [C]stand [G] [D]still[G] [D] [G] [D]

Edge improves on the riff a bit in the concert but this is basically it.
At the end of song I like to just jam on the D and G 10th (and 12th fret A)
fret bar-chords avoiding the bass strings.
Tuned down 1 semi-tone (half-step)
