Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of (Acoustic)
-U2-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Robert Healy
Tuning: The original acoustic version uses Open E tuning (EBEG#Be) but if you
try to tune up to it without light gauge strings, you'll most likely break
them. It is best to tune to Open D (DADF#AD) and then Capo 2. I'm confident
that this is 100% correct.

VERSE 1
-------
[E]I'm not [E/G#]afraid of anyth[A]ing in this wo[E]rld
There's [B]nothing you can [C#m]throw at me that I [A]haven't already [E]heard
[E]I'm just trying to [E/G#]find a d[A]ecent m[E]elody
A [B]song that I can [C#m]sing in my [A]own compan[E]y
[C#m]I never thought you were a f[A]ool

Carry your own [C#m]weight
These tears are going [B]nowhere baby

[E]I will not [E/G#]forsake the col[A]ors that you b[E]ring

[E]I am still [E/G#]enchanted by the [A]light you brought to [E]me
[B]I listen through your [C#m]ears, thr[A]ough your eyes I can [E]see
[C#m]And you are such a [A]fool
[F#]To worry like you do[A]

Of what you don't really [B]need now, my oh my

BRIDGE
------
[F#m]I was unconscious, half asleep
The [A]water is warm 'til you discover how [E]deep
[F#m]I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a [A]long way down to nothing at all[B]

And you [A]can't get out of [E]it
