Running To Stand Still

U2

D                                G                                
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said
D                                 G             
I got to do something about where we?re going.
D                      G                                    
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D                            G               
Run from the darkness in the night, singin?

A            C     G    
Ah, ah la la la de day
A        C     G          D        G 
Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

D                
Sweet the sin, 
               G                   
but bitter the taste in my mouth.
D                     
I see seven towers, 
               G             
but I only see one way out.
           D                      
You got to cry without weeping, 
talk without speaking,
G                                    
Scream without raising your voice, 
                    D        
you know I took the poison,
                               G
                               G                             
From the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singin?

A            C     G    
Ah, ah la la la de day
A        C     G          D     G    
Ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

G     D     G     
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

D                                                        
She walks through the streets with her eyes painted red
G                                       
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
D                                     
In through the doorway she brings me
G                                           
White golden pearls, stolen from the sea, 
       D       
she is raging
                       G                            
She is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes,
she will

A          C      G      
Suffer the needle chill
A                C     G     D    G 
She?s running to stand . . . still
