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.

[Intro]
E E/G# A E B C#m A E
[Verse 1]
E E/G# A E
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
B C#m A E
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
E E/G# A E
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
B C#m A E
A song that I can sing in my own company
C#m A
I never thought you were a fool
F# A
But darling look at you
C#m A
You gotta stand up straight
C#m
Carry your own weight
B
These tears are going nowhere baby
[Chorus]
E E/G# A E
You've got to get yourself together
B C#m
You've got stuck in a moment
A E
And now you can't get out of it
E E/G# A E
Don't say that later will be better
B C#m
Now you're stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
[Verse 2]
E E/G# A E
I will not forsake the colors that you bring
B C#m A E
The nights you filled with fireworks they left you with nothing
E E/G# A E
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
B C#m A E
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see
C#m A
And you are such a fool
F# A
To worry like you do
C#m A
I know it's tough
C#m
And you can never get enough
B
Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
[Chorus]
E E/G# A E
You've got to get yourself together
B C#m
You've got stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
E E/G# A E
Oh love, look at you now
B C#m
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
[Bridge]
F#m
I was unconscious, half asleep
A E
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
F#m
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
A B
It's a long way down to nothing at all
[Chorus]
E E/G# A E
You've got to get yourself together
B C#m
You've got stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
E E/G# A E
Don't say that later will be better
B C#m
Now you're stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
[Outro] x2
E G#m A E
And if the night runs over
B C#m A E
And if the day won't last
E G#m A E
And if your way should falter
B C#m A E
Along the stormy pass
[Ending]
B
It's just a moment
A E
This time will pass
