      [Intro]
F#m A E B (x2)

[Verse 1]
F#m    A            E     B          F#m        A            E    B
   The sea it swells like a sore head   and the night it is aching
F#m    A         E        B
   Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
F#m        A             E       B
   And the day it is breaking
F#m A             E        B
    On rainy days we'd go swimming out
F#m   A             E      B
   On rainy days swimming in the sound
   F#m   A            E           B
On rainy days we'd go swimming out

[Pre-Chorus]
       D     E    A          C#m
You're in my mind all of the time
  C#m             D
I know that's not enough
D        E       A                   C#m
  If the sky can crack there must be someway back
    C#m           D
For love and only love

[Verse 2]
F#m     A          E               B
   Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
F#m             A    E            B
   You're kept awake dreaming someone elses dream
F#m          A        E             B
   Coffee is cold but it'll get you through
F#m      A           E          B
   Compromise that's nothing new to you.
F#m       A                 E          B
Let's see colours that have never been seen
      F#m A      E               B
Let's go  places no one else has been

[Pre-Chorus]
       D     E    A          C#m
You're in my mind all of the time
  C#m              D
I know that's not enough
     D                    E                   A       C#m
      Well if the sky can crack there must be someway back
   C#m            D
To love and only love

[Chorus]
F#m D  E     F#m      
      Electrical storm
F#m D  E     F#m F#m
      Electrical storm
F#m D  E     F#m B   B   B  
      Electrical storm
B            F#m      A     E     B
  Baby don't cry

[Verse 3]
F#m            A     E             B
   It's hot as hell, honey in this room
F#m              A            E     B
   Sure hope the weather will break soon
F#m           A      E          B
   The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
F#m            A       E             B
   We need the rain to wash away our bad luck

[Bridge]
 D     E    A    C#m  C#m     D

[Pre-Chorus]
     D      E       A                   C#m
Well if the sky can crack there must be some way back
   C#m           D
To love and only love

Em           A      
  Baby don't cry
Em           A      
  Baby don't cry

[chords]

Verse chords : that's what the Edge uses :
 
  F#m   A   E    B   
e|--2---5---7----7---|
B|--2---5---5----7---|
G|--2---6---5----5---|
D|--4---7---5----9---|
A|--4---7---7----9---|
E|--2---5--------7---|

In the Chorus and pre-chorus Bono uses :

    D   A   E    B  Bsus4 C#m
e|--2---0---0--------------4-|
B|--3---2---0----4----5----6-|
G|--2---2---1----4----4----5-|
D|--0---2---2----4----4----5-|
A|------0---2----2----2----4-|
E|----------0----------------|

In the end of the Chorus you can make a small variation of B in Bsus4 
If you want to play like the live version (or the remix version), you can use chords of the verse in the first
pre-chorus and add the chorus with chords of the verse after the pre-chorus. Timing might not be perfect 
because it slightly differs from a version to another.
