                             Staring At The Sun

                                                                       U2

Am  G  F  Em
    Am                G               F              Em
    Summer stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass
    In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me
    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
            Let's go undercover
                  F
            Don't try to hard to think
                           G
            Don't think at all
                                      C                  Am
                     I'm not the only one starin' at the sun
                                           D                         F
                     Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
                     Not just deaf and dumb, I'm staring at the sun
                     Not the only one who's happy to go blind     Am G F Em

    There's an insect in your ear, if you scratch it won't disappear
    It's gonna itch and burn and sting,
      do want to see what the scratching brings
    Waves that leave me out of reach, breaking on your back like a beach
    Will we ever live in peace? Cause those that can't do   Often have to
            Those that can't do
            Often have to preach
                     To the ones starin' at the sun
                     Afraid of what you'll find, if you took a look inside
                     Not just deaf and dumb, staring at the sun
                     I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind  Am D  Am D

    Intransigence is all around, military is still in town
    Armor 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 I'm missin'
            I left in the duty free, though
            You never really belonged to me
                     You're not the only one starin' at the sun
                     Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
                     I'm not sucking on my thumb, I'm staring at the sun
                     Not the only one who's happy to go blind...
