Iris Hold Me Close Guitar Chords U2

[Verse 1]
D        Bm
The star,
               F#m    E
that gives us light
                  D   Bm
Has been gone a while
                  F#m     E
But it’s not an illusion
     D      Bm
The ache
        F#m  E
In my heart
             D Bm          F#m   E
Is so much a part of who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
A                  Bm
Something in your eyes
          F#m                 E
Took a thousand years to get here

A                  Bm
Something in your eyes
          F#m                 E
Took a thousand years, a thousand years

[Chorus]
        D Bm             F#m                     E
Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go.
        D Bm             F#m                     E
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
        D  Bm        F#m                  E
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
       D    Bm  
Who we are
               F#m          E
I’ve got your life inside of me

D Bm F#m E x2
Iris… Iris…

[Verse]
D  Bm       F#m E              D    Bm
Once we are born, we begin to forget
                   F#m  E
The very reason we came
    D   Bm
But you
              F#m  E
I’m sure I’ve met
                  D                   Bm
Long before the night the stars went out
                   F#m    E
We’re meeting up again

[Chorus]
        D Bm             F#m                     E
Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go.
        D Bm             F#m                     E
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
        D  Bm        F#m                  E
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
       D    Bm  
Who we are
               F#m          E
I’ve got your life inside of me

D Bm F#m E x2
Iris… Iris…

[MIDDLE]
A Bm F#m                 E  
        The stars are bright but do they know
A Bm F#m                    E
        The universe is beautiful but cold

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

D Bm F#m E x2
Iris… Iris…
