Staring at the Sun (U2) - U2 POP 
  
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
(Am   G   F   Em)   2x 

Am                 G 

Summer stretching on the grass 

F              Em 

Summer dresses pass 

Am                G 

In the shade of a willow tree 

F                 Em 

Creeps a crawling over me 

Am          G 

Over me and over you 

F                 Em 

Stuck together with God's glue 

     Am               G 

It's going to get stickier too 

            F 

It's been a long hot summer 

          G 

Let's get under cover 

       F 

Don't try too hard to think 

               G 

Don't think at all 

                 C 

I'm not the only one 

               Am 
  
Staring at the sun 

                     D 

Afraid of what you'd find 

                     F 

If you took a look inside 

                      C 

I'm not just deaf and dumb 

               Am 

Staring at the sun 

             D 

Not the only one 

                  F 

Who's happy to go blind 

( Am  G  F  Em )  1x 

Am                  G 

There's an insect in your ear 

F                 Em 

If you scratch it won't disappear 

     Am                G 

It's going to itch and burn and sting 

    F                    Em 

You want to see what the scratching brings 

Am                  G 

Waves that leave me out of reach 

F                Em 

Breaking on your back like a beach 

Am           G 

Will we ever live in peace 

       F 

'Cause those that can't do 

G 

Often have to 

    F 

And those that can't do 

G 

Often have to preach 

       C 

To the ones 

               Am 

Staring at the sun 

                      D 

Afraid of what you'll find 

                   F 

If you took a look inside 

                  C 

Not just deaf and dumb 

               Am 

Staring at the sun 

          D 

I'm not the only one 

   F 

Who'd rather go blind 

( Am  C  D  Am  C  G  Am  G  D ) 

Am 

Intransigence is all around 
Military still in town 
Armour plated suits and ties 
Daddy just won't say goodbye 

Referee won't blow the whistle 
God is good but will He listen 
I'm nearly great 
But there's something missing 

  F   G 

I left it in the duty free 

        F    G 

But you never really belonged to me 

      C 

You're not the only one 

               Am 

Staring at the sun 

                     D 

Afraid of what you'd find 

                      F 

If you stepped back inside 

        C 

I'm not sucking on my thumb 

     Am 

I'm staring at the sun 

      D 

Not the only one 

    F 

Who's happy to go blind 
  

Am     C     D    Am    C     D...
