Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind

INTRO:
E E/G# A E/G# B C#m A E

VERSE:
E E/G# A E/G#
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
B C#m A E
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
E E/G# A E/G#
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
B C#m A E
A song that I can sing in my own company
C#m A
I never thought you were a fool
F#m(2nd verse: F#7) A
But darling, look at you
C#m A C#m
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
B
These tears are going nowhere, baby

CHORUS:
E E/G# A E/G#
You've got to get yourself together
B C#m A E
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
E E/G# A E/G# G#/C C#m
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it

VERSE 2:
I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
F#m
I was unconscious, half asleep
A E
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
F#m
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
A D B
It's a long way down to nothing at all

CHORUS

E E/G# A E/G#
And if the night runs over
B C#m A E
And if the day won't last
E E/G# A E/G#
And if our way should falter
G#/C C#m A E(1st x only)
Along the stony pass
(repeat)

It's just a moment
E
This time will pass

the lyrics are touching, comforting.. its talkin abt how things cud affect lives differently depending on how they are managed by the bearer. and its juz too bad the one he (d speaker) is talkin to was so into his problems and was so burdened he got 'stuck' in d situation..and dats where d suicide thing is all abt. he is also tryin to say that he had bad times too : ' The water is warm till you discover how deep, I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all ' .....but these are juz moments..they will pass.

Yes, this song was written about Michaeal Huttencance.. what a terrible day it was when he committed suicide, I remember how numb i was when I heard. It was a shock, this song is what anyone who has had a friend leave them through their own hand. We all ask the same questions, the same thoughts. We want to smack them so hard for doing something so daft

I just heard this song for the first time on Vh1 mega hits a couple of minutes ago and had to get on and look at the lyrics.I knew the arrangement and music touched me,but it REALLY touches me now that I know what it\'s all about.I use to be suicidal,because I have Chronic Pelvic Pain.I have since fixed my pain for the most part and overcome this.It just touched me and I just wanted to say how much it did-a lot!U2 totally are a great band!One of my favorites!

Bono DID write this song. If you go to their official site, click on Albums and this song...Bono says, "Michael Hutchence and I spoke about suicide, an he was the original inspiration for 'Stuck in A Moment You Can't Get Out Of'. Yes, it is a tribute...I just wanted to ackknowledge Bono's great writing ability.

Just to clear things up, I just want to quote the official U2 site. "Speaking to Rolling Stone, Bono said that he and Hutchence, a close friend, had discussed suicide before he was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in 1997: 'We discussed suicide a few times and we both agreed how pathetic it was.' He said they had 'kinda promised each other' neither would ever kill themselves. 'Stuck In A Moment... is an argument,' he said. 'It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy fucking song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number... slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me'

This is a great song....I love it. Of course that isn't too credible since I love all their songs. As for the meaning, it's about suicide
