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