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

Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight

Pre-Chorus

Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

Chorus

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Verse 2

We fight all the time

You and I... that's alright

We're the same soul

I don't need... I don't need to hear you say

That if we weren't so alike

You'd like me a whole lot more

Pre-Chorus

Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

Chorus

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

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 -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Well, hey now!

I've got to let you know

A house still doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone...

Outro/Chorus

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

(Play 'A' to fade)

NOTE: Play over the start of the bridge (leading up to Bono's high note)
