Running to Stand Still

by U2

D                                G
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still
       D                                      G
Said, "I gotta do something about where we're going."
D                    G
Slip on a steamtrain, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D                     G
Run from the darkness in the night
        A       C     G   A          C     G          D
Singing   ha la la di day,  ha la la la di day, ha la la di day

Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers but I only see one way out
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison from the poison stream
And I floated out of here
Singing ha la la di day, ha la la la di day, ha la la di day

Hooooooo... hooooooo... hooooooo...

She walks though the streets with her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls she's stolen from the sea
She is raging, she is raging
And a storm blows up in her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still
