There's chords floating around for the live version they did of this on the 360 tour a few years ago, but
they've rewrote it for the new album and I can't find anything online for that. I put this together quickly
so that's not a thing anymore!
Every Breaking Wave (Songs of Innocence)
U2
A l C#m l E l B
A l C#m l E l B l B
[Verse 1]
A C#m
Every breaking wave on the shore
E B
Tells the next one there’ll be one more.
A C#m
And every gambler knows that to lose
E B
Is what you’re really there for.
A C#m
Summer I was fearless,
E B
Now I speak into an answer phone.
A C#m
Like every falling leave on the breeze,
E B B
Winter couldn’t leave it alone.......alone........
[Chorus]
A C#m E B
If you go – if you go your way and I go mine.
A C#m E B
Are we so – are we so helpless against the tide?
A C#m E B
Baby every dog on the street knows that we’re in love with defeat.
A C#m E B
Are we ready to be swept off our feet and stop chasing Every Breaking Wave?
A l C#m l E l B
[Verse 2]
A C#m
Every sailor knows that the sea
E B
Is a friend made enemy.
A C#m
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
E B
To live without intimacy.
A C#m
I thought I heard the captain’s voice –
E B
It’s hard to listen while you preach.
A C#m
Like every broken wave on the shore
E B B
This is as far as I could reach
[Chorus]
F#m l A l E l B
[Bridge]
F#m
The sea knows where are the rocks
A
And drowning is no sin.
E
You know where my heart is:
B
The same place that yours has been.
F#m
We know that we fear to win,
A E B
And so we end before we begin.......before we begin.....
A l C#m l E l B
[Chorus]
A l C#m l E l B over and over as the song fades
