U2 - Staring At The Sun: chords

Am                G
Summer stretching on the grass,
 F              Em
Summer dresses pass
Am                 G
In the shade of a willow tree,
  F               Em
Creeps a crawling over me
Am          G
Over me and over you,
  F             Em
Stuck together with God`s glue
Am                     G
It`s going to get stickier too,
             F
It`s been a long hot summer
          G
Let`s get undercover,
        F                                   G
Don`t try too hard to think, Don`t think at all

Chorus:
                 C
I`m not the only one
               Am
Starin` at the sun
                      D
Afraid of what you`d find
                 F
You step back inside
                          C
You're not just deaf and dumb
               Am
Staring at the sun
                    D
You're not the only one
                    F
Who`s happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
Do you wanna see what the scratching brings?
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace?
Cause those that can't do often have to
And those that can't do often have to preach

Chorus:
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind

Intransigence in all around
Military's still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen?
I'm nearly great but there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
Oh, though you never really belonged to me

Chorus:
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking my thumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
