Tuning:
Stay (Faraway, So Close!) by U2. It was released as the album's third single on 22 November
1993. It was written for and inspired by Frank Sinatra and bore his surname as the original
working title. An alternate recording was used in the Wim Wenders film Faraway, So Close!
Was well received by critics and nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. The
song made its live debut on the Zoo TV Tour but has only been performed intermittently
in an acoustic version over subsequent tours. Members of U2 consider it to be one of their
favorite songs; guitarist The Edge named it the best track on the album, while lead singer
Bono stated that it was one of their best creations.

EGreen light
Seven EleF#ven
You stop Ain for a pack of cigareEttes
EYou don't smoke
F#Don’t even want to
HeyA now, check your chaEnge
Dressed up like a carF# crash
The whAeels are turning
EBut you're upside down
FmYou say when he hits you
EYou don't mind
FmBecause when he hurts you
EYou feel alive
EIs that what it is?
ERed lights
F#Grey morning
AYou stumble
Out of a hole in the grEound
A vampire or a viF#ctim
AIt depends on
EWho’s around?
EYou used to stay in
To watch the adF#verts
AYou could lip synch
To the talk shEows
FmAnd if you look
You look througG#mh me
G#mAnd when you talk
It’s not toA me
AAnd when I touch you
You don't feel a thBing
If I could stFmay
Then the night would givEe you up
FmStay and the day would keep its tErust
FmStay and the night would be enoughE
EFaraway
F#So close
AUp with the static
EAnd the radio waves
With satellite televiF#sion
YouA can go anywheEre
EMiami, New F#Orleans, London
BAelfast and BerElin
FmAnd if you listen, I can't cG#mall
And if you jump, you just might fAall
And if you shout, I'll only hear Byou
If I could stFmay
AThen the night would give yoEu up
FmStay and Athe day would keep its tErust
FmStay with the deAmons you drG#mowned
AStay with the spirit I found
FmStay and the night would be eEnough
EOh ohF# oh oAh ……E
EThree o'clock in the morF#ning
AIt's quiet and there's no one arEound
Just the bang and the claF#tter
AAs an angel runs to groEund
Just the bang and the claF#tter
AAs an angel hits the groEund
