Last Night on Earth Lyrics

Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono And The Edge
This song is tuned down 1/2 step and changes keys from E minor to E.
Much respect to fellow U2 transcriber Steve Palmer, who I think was
the first to have this song on a website.
intro:
verse:
She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
use these chords for the prechorus:
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She doesn't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
riff during 2nd & 3rd verses:
She's not wating on a saviour to come
She's at a bus-stop with the news of the world
And the sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone
last bar before chorus:
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She knows just what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
palm mute:
bridge chords:
bridge notes:
Slipping away, slip slide
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away
She's living next week now
You know she's going t opay it back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
You got to give it away
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night on earth
palm mute:

*i hope this doesn't look to complicated. the 3bp0 means:
-pick 3rd fret, bend and pull off to 0
verse:
she feels the ground is giving way
but she thinks we're better off that way
'the more you take the less you feel
the less you know the more you believe
the more you have the more it takes today'
chorus:
you got to give it away
you got to give it away
you got to give it away
she doesn't care what it's worth
she's living like it's the last night on earth
