                                 (Strum that C#m chord to what sounds right.)

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                         A
I never thought you were a fool
F#                   A
But darling look at you
C#m                   A
You gotta stand up straight
                 C#m
Carry your own weight
                         B
These tears are going nowhere baby

[Chorus]
E       G#m    A             G#m
You've got to get yourself together
             B         C#m
You've got stuck in a moment
             A         E
And now you can't get out of it
E      G#m      A             G#m
Don't say that later will be better
             D7        C#m
Now you're stuck in a moment
          A
And you can't get out of it

(at the end of the chorus you hold the A, and then go to E Riff which looks like this)
e|---0------0-------0------0-------------------------------------------------|
B|---0------0-------0------0-------------------------------------------------|
G|---0------0-------0------0-------------------------------------------------|
D|---0--2---0---2---0--2---0-------------------------------------------------|
A|---0--2---0---2---0--2---0-------------------------------------------------|
E|---0--0---0---0---0--0---0-------------------------------------------------|
(I wasn't quite sure how to tab this part. it just goes pack and forth between those two
chords but check out the video for the proper timing. this part is at 1:27)

[Verse 2]
[Main Riff] (x2)
e|---0--------0---------------0-------------0--0--0--0--------------0-----------|
B|----0---------0---------------0-----------2--2--2--2----------------0---------|
G|-------------------5-5-------------7-7----0--0--0--0------5-5-----------------|

                                 (Strum that C#m chord to what sounds right.)

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                         A
And you are such a fool
F#                   A
To worry like you do
C#m                   A
I know it's tough
                 C#m
And you can never get enough
                         B
Of what you don't really need now. My, oh my

[Chorus]
E       G#m    A             G#m
You've got to get yourself together
             B         C#m
You've got stuck in a moment
             A         E
And now you can't get out of it

E      G#m      A             G#m
Don't say that later will be better
             D7        C#m
Now you're stuck in a moment
          A
And you can't get out of it

[Bridge]
F#m-this chord is held for a while before bono starts singing
I was unconscious, half asleep
A                                        E-Edge does the same thing here as at the end 
the first chorus
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
F#m
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
        A                           D    B
It's a long way down to nothing at all

[Chorus]
E       G#m    A             G#m
You've got to get yourself together
             B         C#m
You've got stuck in a moment
             A         E
And now you can't get out of it
E      G#m      A             G#m
Don't say that later will be better
             D7        C#m
Now you're stuck in a moment
          A
And you can't get out of it

[Outro]
E   G#m     A          G#m
And if the night runs over
B C#m       A        E
And if the day won't last
E   G#m     A         G#m
And if our way should falter
D7 C#m    A     E
Along the stony pass
E   G#m     A          G#m
And if the night runs over
B C#m       A        E
And if the day won't last
E   G#m     A         G#m
And if our way should falter
D7 C#m    A                                              E
Along the stony pass... Its just a moment this time will pass
