Staring At The Sun

Biography:

U2 is an Irish alternative rock band from Dublin formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic sound built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based guitar textures.

Am G F Em
Summer stretching on the grass, Summer dresses pass
Am G F Em
In the shade of a willow tree, Creeps a crawling over me
Am G F Em
Over me and over you, Stuck together with God`s glue
Am G F
It`s going to get stickier too, It`s been a long hot summer
G F G
Let`s get undercover, Don`t try too hard to think, Don`t think at all

C
I`m not the only one
Am
Starin` at the sun
Dsus
Afraid of what you`d find
F
You step back inside
C
You're not just deaf and dumb
Am
Staring at the sun
Dsus
You're not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind

Am, Dsus x2

Am G F Em
There`s an insect in your ear, If you scratch it won`t disappear
Am G F Em
Gonna itch and burn and sting, You want to see what the scratching brings
Am G F Em
Waves that leave me out of reach, Breaking on your back like a beach
Am G
Will we ever live in peace?
F G
Cause those that can`t do...often have to
F G
Those that can`t do...often have to preach
C
To the ones
Am
Starin` at the sun
Dsus
Afraid of what you`d find
F
You step back inside
C
You're not just deaf and dumb
Am
Staring at the sun
Dsus
You're not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind

Am, Dsus x2

Am G F Em
Intransigence is all around, Military still in town
Am G F Em
Armour plated suits and ties, Daddy just won`t say goodbye
Am G F Em
Referee won`t blow the whistle, God is good but will he listen
Am G
I`m nearly great but there`s something I`m missing
F G
I left in the duty free
F G
She never really belonged to me

C
I`m not the only one
Am
Starin` at the sun
Dsus
Afraid of what you`d find
F
You step back inside
C
I'm not sucking on my thumb
Am
I'm staring at the sun
Dsus
I'm not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
C
Happy to go blind
Am
Happy to go blind
Dsus
Happy to go blind
F
Happy to go, happy to go
C
Happy to go blind
Am
Happy to go blind
Dsus
Happy to go blind
F (C)
Happy to go, happy to go, happy to go...blind

after the song, he comes in and does...

Am Dsus Am Dsus (x3)
Ohh OhhOhh Ohhh Uh uh Ohhhhhhhhh...

End.
