I can't live
With or Without you
And you give yourself away 2x
And you give 2x
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised she got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away 2x
And you give 2x
And you give yourself away
With or Without You 2x
I Can't Live...With or Without You
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhh
With or Without you 2x
I can't live

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
This song is played in the key of C# (C#, F#, G#), but works equally well
in C (C, F, G) or G (G, C, D), so long as you don't play along to the recording.
C#I have climbed highest mountain
I have run thG#rough the fields
Only to F#be with you
Only to C#be with you
C#I have run
I have G#crawled
I have scaled these G#city walls
These city F#walls
Only to C#be with you
But I G#still haven't F#found what I'm C#looking for
But I G#still haven't F#found what I'm C#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
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for X4
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
Intro-Riff A)
BmI can't believe Dthe news today G
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
DHow long?
EmHow long must we sing this song?
DHow long, how long? Em
B'Cause tonight wDe cGan be as one, tonight!
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and T.V. is reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won,
On Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday...

DESIRE
Intro and verses: Dsus2-A-E-Esus4-E (this is labeled [+])
[+] [+]
Yeah, lover I'm on the streets
[+] [+]
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
Dsus2 A [+]
With a red guitar, on fire, Desire
She's the candle burning in my room
I'm like the needle - needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire
(Dsus2BurninAg, bDsus2urningE)
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's a promise
In the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For love or money, money, money
Desire
