Iris Hold Me Close chords by U2

Chords with lyrics

My favorite song so far from the new album 'Songs Of Innocence' released yesterday (09.09.2014).
Tried to give it ago and I think it sounds good. Tell what you think !


Verse 1 :
C majorC    A minorAm
The star,
        E minorEm  D MajorD
that gives us light
         C majorC  A minorAm
Has been gone a while
         E minorEm   D MajorD
But it?s not an illusion
   C majorC   A minorAm
The ache
    E minorEm D MajorD
In my heart
       C majorC A minorAm     E minorEm  D MajorD
Is so much a part of who I am

Pre-Chorus :
G+G         A minorAm
Something in your eyes
     E minorEm         D MajorD
Took a thousand years to get here

G+G         A minorAm
Something in your eyes
     E minorEm         D MajorD
Took a thousand years, a thousand years

Chorus :
    C majorC A minorAm       E minorEm           D MajorD
Hold me close, hold me close and don?t let me go.
    C majorC A minorAm       E minorEm           D MajorD
Hold me close like I?m someone that you might know
    C majorC A minorAm    E minorEm         D MajorD
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
    C majorC  A minorAm
Who we are
        E minorEm     D MajorD
I?ve got your life inside of me

C majorC A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD x2
Iris? Iris?

Verse :
C majorC A minorAm    E minorEm D MajorD       C majorC  A minorAm
Once we are born, we begin to forget
          E minorEm D MajorD
The very reason we came
  C majorC  A minorAm
But you
       E minorEm D MajorD
I?m sure I?ve met
         C majorC          A minorAm
Long before the night the stars went out
          E minorEm  D MajorD
We?re meeting up again

CHORUS :

    C majorC A minorAm       E minorEm           D MajorD
Hold me close, hold me close and don?t let me go.
    C majorC A minorAm       E minorEm           D MajorD
Hold me close like I?m someone that you might know
    C majorC A minorAm    E minorEm         D MajorD
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
    C majorC  A minorAm
Who we are
        E minorEm     D MajorD
I?ve got your life inside of me

C majorC A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD x2
Iris? Iris?

MIDDLE :
G+G A minorAm E minorEm         D MajorD
    The stars are bright but do they know
G+G A minorAm E minorEm          D MajorD
    The universe is beautiful but cold

OUTRO/CHORUS
          C majorC
You took me by the hand
  A minorAm            E minorEm
I thought that I was leading you
      D MajorD        C majorC
But it was you made me your man
 A minorAm
Machine
  E minorEm
I dream
    D MajorD
Where you are
C majorC        A minorAm
Iris standing in the hall
   E minorEm       D MajorD
She tells me I can do it all
C majorC          A minorAm
Iris wakes to my nightmares
    E minorEm         D MajorD
Don?t fear the world it isn?t there
C majorC       A minorAm
Iris playing on the strand
   E minorEm        D MajorD
She buries the boy beneath the sand,
C majorC        A minorAm      E minorEm
Iris says that I will be the death of her
D MajorD
It was not me

C majorC A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD x2
Iris? Iris?

Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself
