She turns the tide

She sees the man inside the child chorus x4

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke, don't even want to

Hey now, check your change

F#

Dressed up like a car crash

A E

The wheels are turning but you're upside down

You say when he hits you, you don't mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

F# A E

Is that what it is?

(Edge plays main riff)

Red lights, grey morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who's around

You used to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip synch to the talk shows

(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)

F#m C#m

And if you look, you look through me

A

And when you talk it's not to me

B

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

F#m E

If I could stay... then the night would give you up

F#m E

Stay, and the day would keep its trust

F#m A E

Stay, and the night would be enough

(Edge plays main riff)

Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin

(Edge plays arpeggiated chords)

And if you listen I can't call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout I'll only hear you

F#m E

If I could stay... then the night would give you up

F#m E

Stay, and the day would keep its trust

F#m C#m

Stay with the demons you drowned

A B

Stay with the spirit I found

F#m A E

Stay and the night would be enough

(Bono stops, Edge plays main riff)

Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel hits the ground

The hands that built America

intro: F#m - E - D

F#m E D (+tabbed part)

Oh my love, it's a long way we've come

From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons

Am G D (+ tabbed part)

From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky

From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye

F#m E D (+ tabbed part)

These are the hands that built America

Oh, oh oh, America

F#m E D (+ tabbed part)

Last saw your face in a watercolour sky

As sea birds argue, a long goodbye

Am G D

I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star

You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard

F#m E D

And these are the hands, that built America

Ah, ah ah, America

Am G D

Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep

Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach

Halle, ole

(this part of tenor voice, i donĀ“t have how is it)

F#m E D

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline

Innocence, dragged across a yellow line

F#m E D (+tabbed part)

These are the hands that built America

These are the hands that built America

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America

Oh-la-la-ah-ah America

Imply Gimme some more

Detain Too much is not enough

Explain

Start again I feel numb

Don't triumph, don't coax, don't cling, don't hoax

Don't freak, peak, don't leak, don't speak

I feel numb

Don't project I feel numb

Don't connect, protect, don't expect

Suggest

I feel numb

Don't project, don't connect

Protect, don't expect, suggest

I feel numb

Don't struggle I feel numb

Don't jerk, don't collar, don't work

Don't wish, don't fish, don't teach, don't reach

I feel numb

Don't borrow, don't break, don't fence

Don't steal, don't pass, don't press

Don't try, don't feel

I feel numb

Don't touch, don't dive, don't suffer

Don't rhyme, don't fantasize, don't rise

Don't lie

I feel numb

Don't project, don't connect

Protect, don't expect, suggest

I feel numb

Don't project, don't connect

Protect, don't expect, suggest I feel numb
