*** Staring At The Sun *** 
          by U2 
Words by Bono and The Edge



Intro: Am G F Em  Am G F Em

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
It's going to get stickier too...
                F
It's been a long hot summer
                 G
Let's get undercover
       F				          G
don't try too hard to think... don't think at all



CHORUS:
                       C		     Am	
I'm not the only one.. starin' at the sun
		      D		                   F
afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
                              C                          Am
not just deaf and dumb I'm starin' at the sun
                     D                                F
not the only one who's happy to go blind





Am G F Em 

Am		 G                   F                            Em
there's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear
      Am                 G
it's gonna itch and burn and sting
            F                                  Em
do 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                      G
'cause those that can't do often have to
     F                    G
and those that can't do often have to preach


[REPEAT CHORUS]

Am D Am G 
Am D Am G

Am				Am		
intransingence is all around...military still in town
Am				Am
armour plated suits and ties..daddy just won't say goodbye
Am				Am
referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will He listen
Am
I'm nearly great but there's something I'm missing 
F              G
I left in the duty free
F                                G
though you never really belonged to me


[REPEAT CHORUS] 

Am D Am D Am D......(repeat & fade)


Hope this is good enough, I know that there are some minor
 deviations to the chords, but the basics are here.
