U2 - Every Breaking Wave: Guitar Chords

                A            C#m
Every breaking wave on the shore
           E                        B
tells the next one there’ll be one more.
                    A            C#m
And every gambler knows that to lose
     E                       B
is what you’re really there for.
              A            C#m
Summer I was fearlessness,
        E                    B
now I speak into an answer phone.
               A                 C#m
Like every falling leaf on the breeze,
 E                         B
winter wouldn’t leave it alone, alone.

Chorus:
          A  C#m
If you go?
           E                 B
If you go your way and I go mine.
          A  C#m
Are we so?
           E                    B
Are we so helpless against the tide?
            A              C#m
Baby every dog on the street
                     E           B
knows that we’re in love with defeat.
                     A               C#m
Are we ready to be swept off our feet?
           E     B               A   C#m E B
And stop chasing every breaking wave.

Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the captain's voice
It's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach

Chorus

     F#m
The sea knows where are the rocks,
      A
And drowning is no sin.
  E
You know where my heart is,
     B
The same place that yours has been.
 F#m
We know that we fear to win,
     A                     E
And so we end before we begin,
             B
Before we begin.

Chorus
