Tuning: Standard
The following should make a nice acoustic version of this song. Please feel free to
submit corrections/additions if you see fit.
Chord definitions:
D2 (xx0230)
Asus4 (x02230)
Bm7sus4 (x20230)
G2add6 (3x0230)
Em7 (022030) or Em7sus4 (022230)
These are basically complicated names for a D2 with different bass notes. For
simplicity's sake I will refer to these chords without their complicated added
notations in the tab. The song can even be played with the pure chords for a more
standard "non—U2" sound. However, if you want the feel of the original, you must
use these or similar voicing.
Note also that these chords can be used in any song as a subsitution for D A Em etc to
give the same feel. With or Without You is another song that uses these chords.

Of science and the human heart

There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine

And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love

For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug
