Tuning: Standard
The following should make a nice acoustic version of this song. Please feel free to
submit corrections/additions if you see fit.
Chord definitions:
D2 (xx0230)
Asus4 (x02230)
Dsus2/B (x20230)
Dsus2/G (3x0230)
Em7 (022030) or E7sus4 (022230)
These are basically complicated names for a D2 with different bass notes. For
simplicity's sake I will refer to these chords without their complicated added
notations in the tab. The song can even be played with the pure chords for a more
standard "non-U2" sound. However, if you want the feel of the original, you must
use these or similar voicing.
Note also that these chords can be used in any song as a subsitution for D A Em etc to
give the same feel. With or Without You is another song that uses these chords.
[Intro]
D A Bm G
D A Bm G
[Verse 1]
D A Bm
I want to trip inside your head
G
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
[Verse 2]
(verse 1 chords progression)
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
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
Freedom has a scent
D Em
Like the top of a new born baby's head
[Chorus]
G A
The songs are in your eyes
D Em
I see them when you smile
G A
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
Bm (use intro/verse chords to fill)
On a miracle drug
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
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
[Pre-Chorus]
(same as above)
And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
[Chorus]
(same as above)
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]
Bm A G
Bm A G
Oh God, I need your help tonight
[Solo Сhords]
(use chorus chords)
[Last Chorus Lead-in]
G
Beneath the noise
A
Below the din
D
I hear a voice
Em
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in
[Chorus]
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
Bm Em
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
G A Bm Em
For a miracle drug, for a miracle drug
G A Bm Hold Bm to finish
Miracle, miracle drug
