1//VERTIGO

Unos, dos, tres, catorce! (Turn it up loud, captn')
{verse}
Lights go down, it's dark The jungle is your head,
Can't rule your heart a feeling's so much stronger than a thought 
your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought 
your mind can wander

{chorus}
Hello hello (Hola!)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)
It's everything I wish I didn't know 
Except you give me something I can feel, feel

{verse}
The night is full of holes As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold They twinkle as the Boys play rock and roll
They know they can't dance At least they know....

I can't stand the beat I'm asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails Has Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music Swinging to the music / Oh oh oh oh

{chorus}
Hello hello / I'm at a place called Vertigo
It's everything I wish I didn't know 
But you give me something I can feel, feel

--                                              
{ ~      Check mated      Shots fall ...     shove me in  yeah~)

{Solo break w/basic riff x 4}

                                  {repeat}
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt...
{chorus}
Hello hello (hola!) / We're at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)
Lights go down and all I know is that / you give me something 
                                           {repeat}
I can feel your love teaching me ho-o-o-o-o-ow
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel... kneel
{Basic riff} Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah / Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah  ... Yeah {end on }
2// MIRACLE DRUG

    x2

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out

Prechorus:

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
     		  (use intro/verse chords to fill)
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space

Prechorus:
And time will disappear 
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug

Bridge:
 Oh God, I need your help tonight

Guitar solo-use chorus chords

Last chorus lead-in:
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle drug, for a miracle drug
         		Hold  to finish
Miracle, miracle drug

3//SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight

PRE-CHORUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We fight all the time

You and I...that's alright

We're the same soul

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say

That if we weren't so alike

You'd like me a whole lot more

PRE-CHORUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

BRIDGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 -  - 
                   I know that we don't talk

 -  - 
                   I'm sick of it all

 -  - 
                   Can - you - hear - me - when - I -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Well, hey now!

I've got to let you know

A house still doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone...

FINAL CHORUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

(Play 'A' to fade)

NOTE: Play over the start of the bridge (leading up to Bono's high note):

5//CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS

The most you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go home
I knew much more then, then I did now,
Neon heart, day-glow eyes, city lit by fire flies,
They're advertising in the sky for people like us.

Pre-Chorus:
And I miss you when you're not around,
I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

oooooooo, ooooooooo
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
   (Play riff1 1x now) In the city of blinding lights.  

Don't look before you laugh,
Look ugly in a photograph,
Etc........

6// ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

Main riff: /    /   A7Sus4  /
           /    /   A7Sus4  /
                 ^   ^ (<-these alternate)

                      {repeat until ...
I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
...}                     
And it left me no illusion

{Verse riff}
I saw you in the curve of the moon / In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune / When I just heard confusion

            (repeat)
All because of you			    Verse riff picks off	
All because of you All because of you I am

{Verse riff}
I like the sound of my own voice / I didn't give anyone else a choice 
An intellectual tortoise / Racing with your bullet train

Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again

All because of you / All because of you / All because of you
  {Basic riff x1}
I ... I  
Bridge: 
            x3             x2       {bass goes:     }
  Woo-oo-aa        Who-oo-oo-yee    Whou-yee

Interlude w/Verse riff x4 
Waahh 
Solo w/Basic riff x4

I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from 
           {Cont. verse riff, verse does NOT end with 'D     '}
And I want back inside

All because of you x2 All because of you I am {end on }
7// A MAN AND A WOMAN

Little sister 
Don't you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you're like honey on my tongue

True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

No I could never take a chance
Cos I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you're the one, there's no-one else
That makes me wanna lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine

Little sister
Ive been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
Ive been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God

The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants the soul waits 

No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

You'll see

You'll see

How can I hurt when Im holding you?

8// CRUMBS FROM YOUR TABLE

{Verse chords x4, see below}

{Verse}
From the brightest star Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby When you needed my help
Would you deny for others What you demand for yourself?

{pre-chorus}
Cool down mama, cool off
Cool down mama, cool off

{chorus}
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
                                            /f#
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

{verse}
You were pretty as a picture / It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth / You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking / every heart mends
{pre-chorus}
{chorus}
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
{chorus}
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed / Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
{chorus}
And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table {Verse riff until end}
9// ONE STEP CLOSER

  I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

  I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

Knowing, knowing

  I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

Knowing, knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

Knowing, knowing

Index of chord

Baby slow down 
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart.............

I'll give you everything you want 
Except the thing that you want

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
And I kneel 'cause I want you some more

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it

You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more

Oh no!............Oh no!............
