Running To Stand Still
Music U2
Words Bono
Intro: D, G
D G
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said
D G
I got to do something about where we're going.
D G
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D G
Run from the darkness in the night, singin'
A C G
Ah, ah la la la de day
A C G D G
Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
D G
Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
D G
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
D
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
G D
Scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
G
From the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singin'
A C G
Ah, ah la la la de day
A C G D G
Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
G D G
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
D
She walks through the streets with her eyes painted red
G
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
D
In through the doorway she brings me
G D
White golden pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging
G
She is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
A C G
Suffer the needle chill
A C G D G
She's running to stand . . . still
Out: D, G (5 times to fade)

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)
