U2 Running to Stand Still Lyrics

I'm taking this from the elbow cover version made for the war child album
( http://open.spotify.com/track/42RYyQrgwoO4EuqMo08yyz ) Which is just as
good as the original (maybe even better?). Guy hasn't messed around with
it much, though, so if you're just looking for the U2 one, this one wont
sound any different!
enjoy...
Verse Riff
Chords:
DGDGBe
x= no chord
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lying still
Said I've gotta do something
About where we're going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day
Sweet the sin
Bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day
She runs through the streets,
With her eyes painted red,
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes,
She will...
Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...
Still.
