Stuck In A Moment by U2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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:
E E/G# A E B C#m A E

VERSE 1
-------
E E/G# A E
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
B C#m A E
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
E E/G# A E
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
B C#m A E
A song that I can sing in my own company

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 E/G# A E
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 E/G# A E
Don't say that later will be better
B C#m
Now you're stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
-------
VERSE 2
-------
E E/G# A E
I will not forsake the colors that you bring
B C#m A E
The nights you filled with fireworks they left you with nothing
E E/G# A E
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
B C#m A E
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see

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
-------

You've got yourself stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
------
BRIDGE
------
F#m
I was unconscious, half asleep
A E
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
F#m
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
A B
It's a long way down to nothing at all
------
CHORUS

Intro/Verse 1- play Main Riff 4 times.

You gotta stand up straight

These tears are going nowhere baby

at the end of the chorus you hold the A, and then go to E Riff which looks like this

I wasnt 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- play Main Riff twice

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 Abm A Abm
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 Abm A Abm
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 Abm A Abm
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 Abm A Abm
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 Abm A Abm
And if the night runs over
B C#m A E
And if the day won't last
E Abm A Abm
And if our way should falter
D7 C#m A E
Along the stony pass


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