Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of

Stuck in a Moment You Cant Get Out Of was inspired by an imaginary conversation between Bono and his friend Michael Hutchence, who committed suicide in 1997. Bono imagined what he would have said to convince his friend to give up on taking his own life.

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
                   A5(9)                         Bm                             G 
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't
                       D 
    already heard
                                         D9/F#       G               D9/F# 
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
       A5(9)                     Bm               G                 D 
A song that I can sing in my own company
 Bm                                                       G 
    I never thought you were a fool
 E                                             G 
    But darling, look at you
 Bm                                             G                                           Bm 
      You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
                                               A5(9) 
These tears are going nowhere, baby
 D                 D9/F#   G                       D9/F# 
    You've got to get yourself together
                         A5(9)           Bm                                 G               D 
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
 D               D9/F#       G                         D9/F# 
    Don't say that later will be better now you're

stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
                               D9/F#             G                             D9/F# 
I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
                   A5(9)                                   Bm 
But the nights you filled with fireworks
             G                               D 
They left you with nothing
                               D9/F#                 G                                       D9/F# 
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
                   A5(9)                           Bm                     G 
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes
 D 
I can see
 Bm                                     G 
  And you are such a fool
 E                             G 
  To worry like you do
 Bm                         G                                                         Bm 
    I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
                                                     A5(9) 
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my
 D                 D9/F#   G                       D9/F# 
    You've got to get yourself together
                           A5(9)         Bm                                 G               D 
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
           D9/F#  G                     D9/F# 
  Oh love   look at you now
                                             A#º             Bm 
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you
   G               D 
can't get out of it
 Em 
I was unconscious, half asleep
           G                                                                     D 
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
 Em 
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
                 G                                                   C9         A5(9) 
It's a long way down to nothing at all
 D                 D9/F#   G                       D9/F# 
    You've got to get yourself together
                         A5(9)           Bm                                 G               D 
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
 D               D9/F#       G                         D9/F# 
    Don't say that later will be better now you're
     A#º             Bm                         G                                       D 
stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
         D9/F#     G                 D 
And if the night runs over
 A5(9)     Bm           G                 D 
        And if the day won't last
         D9/F#     G                 D9/F# 
And if our way should falter
 A#º     Bm             G         D 
        Along the stony pass (2x)
It's just a moment
                                 D 
This time will pass
