Tuning: Standard
The following should make a nice acoustic version of this song. Please feel free to
submit corrections/additions if you see fit.
Chord definitions:
(xx0230)
(x02230)
(x20230)
G2add6 (3x0230)
(022030) or (022230)
These are basically complicated names for a with different bass notes. For
simplicity's sake I will refer to these chords without their complicated added
notations in the tab. The song can even be played with the pure chords for a more
standard "non-U2" sound. However, if you want the feel of the original, you must
use these or similar voicing.
Note also that these chords can be used in any song as a subsitution for etc to
give the same feel. With or Without You is another song that uses these chords.

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Prechorus:
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
(use intro/verse chords to fill)
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
Prechorus:
And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug
Bridge:
Oh God, I need your help tonight
Guitar solo-use chorus chords
Last chorus lead-in:
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle drug, for a miracle drug
Hold to finish
Miracle, miracle drug
