D
I want to run, I want to hide
G
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
Bm
I want to reach out
A
And touch the flame
Csus9
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
D
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
G
We're still building then burning down love
Burning down love
Bm A
And when I go there, I go there with you...
D
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
D
Our love turns to rust
G
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
D
Blown by the wind, oh and I see love
See our love turn to rust
G
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
Bm
Blown by the wind, oh when I go there
A
I go there with you, it's all I can do

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- ----- ------- ----- ---- --- ------- ---
C
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
F
Only to be with you
C
Only to be with you
C
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
F
Only to be with you
C
Only to be with you
G F C
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire this burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds, you loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame, and my shame
You know I believed it
:/ But I still haven't found what I'm looking for /:
******************************************************************************
With or Without You
---- -- ------- ---
Same four chords repeat throughout song:
D D/A Bm7 G/D
A simplified version can be played. Here it goes. If you want
to play the original version, replace the four chords.
D A Bm
See the stone set in your eyes,
G D
See the thorn twist in your side
A Bm G
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait....without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you, with or without you
I can't live with or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
>From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city graon
Outside is America
Outside is America

Running to Stand Still
------- -- ----- -----
D G
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said I
D G
got to do something about where we're going.
D G
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D G
run from the darkness in the night, singing
A C G
ah, ah la la la de day
A C G D G
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
Sweet the sin, but 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
ah, ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
G D G
oooh, oooh, oooh
D
She runs through the street with her eyes painted red
G
under black belly of cloud in the rain
D
in through the doorway she brings me
G D
white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging
G
she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
A C G
suffer the needle chill
A C G D G
