Amazing song about Bono's relationship with his Dad. The way the verse
is played is tabbed below, and the pre-chorus, chorus and bridge are all
just strummed. At the end there is a mini-solo for over the start of the
bridge.

[Verse 1]
A A/G Tough, you think you've got the stuff A/F# Dsus2 You're telling me and anyone A You're hard enough A You don't have to put up a fight A/G You don't have to always be right A/F# Dsus2 Let me take some of the punches A For you tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
D D A Listen to me now A F#m I need to let you know F#m D You don't have to go it alone
[Chorus]
F#m E And it's you when I look in the mirror D D And it's you when I don't pick up the phone F#m E D D Sometimes you can't make it on your own
[Verse 2]
A A/G We fight all the time A/F# Dsus2 You and I... that's alright A We're the same soul A A/G I don't need... I don't need to hear you say A/F# Dsus2 That if we weren't so alike A You'd like me a whole lot more
[Pre-Chorus]
D D A Listen to me now A F#m I need to let you know F#m D D You don't have to go it alone
[Chorus]
F#m E And it's you when I look in the mirror D D And it's you when I don't pick up the phone F#m E D D Sometimes you can't make it on your own
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 - C - Dm I know that we don't talk Fmaj7 - C - Am I'm sick of it all Fmaj7 - C - Dm Can you - hear - me - when - I - A A F#m F#m Sing, you're the reason I sing D E A A You're the reason why the opera is in me... D D Well, hey now! A I've got to let you know A F#m A house still doesn't make a home F#m D D Don't leave me here alone...
[Outro/Chorus]
F#m E And it's you when I look in the mirror D D And it's you that makes it hard to let go F#m E D D Sometimes you can't make it on your own F#m E Sometimes you can't make it D D The best you can do is to fake it F#m E D D Sometimes you can't make it on your own
(Play 'A' to fade)
